A variation on the serenity prayer

Betty Ann Cody, one of the women in WOW and one of the speakers at the library event, is moving out of her house and into the Forum this month--and she was very upbeat about her move.  She's giving a lot of her things that won't fit into her new apartment to her family members and thinks it's really fun to see what they choose.

Among her quips and jokes and wise sayings, she gave us this version of the serenity prayer:

God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Elena spent her first night with me last night!  It's a big milestone--and an unexpected one.  She's showing her parents that she "can do it" so we can plan a beach trip together in May.  We're off this morning to meet her family for breakfast.
