Hi Keith , have you heard these, Born free now I'm expensive. I still miss my ex-husband/wife but my aim is improving. One in four people are unbalanced, think of three friends, if they seem ok, your the one. Retirement is when you stop living at work and start working at living. Of all the things I've ever lost I miss my mind most. Margaret.

Hello Margaret. Army version is. As I slide down the bannister of life, I shall always remember Belfast as a splinter in my .....! Keith

As you slide down the bannister of life, may the splinters never face the wrong way. Margaret .

A Woman's Prayer Forgive, Dear Lord, my lack of grace, The day's so short, the countless tasks Leave little time for me to pray Save briefly at the close of day. To thank Thee Lord, for simple things, A blackbird preening on the lawn, The sunlight dappling through the trees, Bird-song at morn, cool summer breeze. A cottage doorway open wide For friends to enter as they will, The quiet happpiness it brings To love, Dear Lord, the simple things. By F.M. Walker

God Grant me the serenity, was written by Rev. Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr

Hi, A beautiful prayer Ann. One more for my journal. I think yours, Viv, is the AA prayer, if I'm not mistaken. Here's another one. When faced with a mountain, I will not quit. I will keep on striving until I climb over, Find a pass through, tunnel underneath, Or simply stay and turn the mountain Into a gold mine! With God's help! The Possibility Thinker's Creed, by Robert H Schuller
