To Bring You Back to Center

This is a great book for when you need a little reinforcement to get through your normal day. It covers things like housework, relationships, and nature. The situations are extremely normal and mundane, including brushing your teeth.

Here's an excerpt from page 187:

frustration

Instead of being frustrated, I must accept such instances either with humor, calmness, or constructive efforts to improve the situation. And when awareness is present, it displaces the kind of grasping that breeds frustration.

This particular quote is rather reminiscent of the prayer that Sister Lee Ann always began our history class with in high school:

Lord, 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.
