I know quite a few people from both parties who are pretty worked up about the election. By contrast, I've been feeling pretty serene. I can't control other people's choices. My sincere belief about what is best for our country matters, but it does not alone determine who will be our next president.
Yesterday, I chose to do the following things that matter:
To roast marshmallows and make smores with my daughter.
To read a book.
To walk to the park and play soccer with my dog and my family.
To notice the golden-red color of the light coming through the leaves.
To try in a small way to make someone's life a little better.
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.

I like what you wrote today. I think it goes along with my blog. What can we do except live our lives the best we know how and enjoy doing it?
...and learn to say, "oh well" when we can't control what goes wrong.
Whoppers!
