I say my prayers every day.

I apologize for hurting people in one of my most recent entries. It hurt several people that I would complain so much. Most of you have been such wonderful friends. I have chosen to come here instead of staying some place where I would be near to my friends. Or at least nearer to them.

I cannot say anything that would not be hurtful to people. If I am sad, some of you will be upset. If I am lonely, some of you will point out to me that it is my fault that I am lonely (which may or may not be true) and then be upset. If I am happy, some of you will be upset that I am happy and you are not here.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage the change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

I like that prayer, but I guess what I need now is a prayer that is more like:

God, grant me the ability to see the future because while I try to make all the best decisions today to make my friends, family, loved ones, and myself happy now AND in the future, I cannot know with certainty if I am doing the right thing in any given day regarding any given decision. Could you please send me a crystal ball and tarot cards for Christmas? They will be quite useful in making sure that I never hurt anyone again.

Sometimes I am unhappy. That comes from all sorts of things; things which I have some control over and things which I have no control over. Sometimes it is a direct effect of my actions, sometimes it is a side-effect of my actions.
Sometimes I am extremely happy. That also comes from all sorts of things; things which I have some control over and things which I have no control over. Sometimes it is a direct effect of my actions, sometimes it is a side-effect of my actions. Right now, it seldom happens for 'no reason' at all.

I hope all of you are granted the foresight to make the decisions which will make you the most happy. I do not have this foresight.

Comments:
Don't worry so much about other people. When you're having a hard time the last thing you need to be adding to that is how your decisions will affect people a thousand miles away. Find a good prayer, pray it ever day and hope that your friends become less hypersensitive to everything. If you're happy, your friends had better be happy about it...if they aren't they are a bit self centered.

YAY 1/27-28/2006!
