We can always make a new beginning, and the new year is famous for resolutions. I have made some in the past but never quite saw them through the year. I did manage to keep one I made last year which is to run more than 365kms in the year.
I didn't have to do a similar one this year for I hope to make this a part of my life already: aren't these the best sort of resolutions?
In fact, I walked/jogged/ran for about 10km at the MacRitchie Nature Trail and deep in the trail, after taking in the fresh air, I prayed the rosary, dedicating each decade to the family and friends respectively. He has blessed us all abundantly and I thank Him for that. I then prayed for myself asking for God to grant me the Serenity to accept things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can and Wisdom to know the difference. These 25 words are part of a longer prayer but it already sums up a vital state of mind that all, especially someone in my station, need to have.
I've tried that yesterday and today as I started work in 2017 and engaged with two colleagues who I had trying times with. I must confess I still need work (just as they do too).
Till I succeed, the serenity prayer remains my mantra.
