1. God

2. “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.”

4. Wisdom may come from this, if it worked, if it is the right thing, or if I am trying to control or affect something that is not in my control.

5. Freedom that comes from saying what is none of my business

6. Especially what someone else thinks of me

7. Making decisions

8. Freedom to be wrong

9. Freedom to be ridiculed, unpopular, disliked

10.  Kevin, a friend who has shown me extraordinary kindness, once said “those who matter don’t judge and those who judge don’t matter”

11. Danielle, as beautiful a creation ever made on this earth, quoted this poem, not for me, but I didn’t understand it until she did “I learn by going where I have to go”
