Serenity by the Pond - My Quiet Place





Have my pond up and running again. Its work but I really enjoy it. Nothing like a coffee in the morning with the sound of the waterfall in the background and fish jumping for their food. They really have become quite tame.
In the one picture, my four year old Shabunka jumps to grab his morning breakfast

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr
