You should try raising cats. Meowing for food at 3:15 a.m., sleeping all day while you slave at a keyboard. Joking!!!
Quis, thank you for posting this long version of the Serenity Prayer. It’s rare to see it. “Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.” There’s a whole life’s journey in that one line.
The longer version: one learns something new everyday! Thanks! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
My former boss' cat must have a different biological clock, DS7! I worked in an office in Rob's home. Missy would bring in her latest victimized chipmunk, drop it on the floor, and jump up in the midst of my papers looking for kudos! At least she was kind enough to leave the chipmunk down on the floor for Last Rites. Safe in the Refuge of the Immaculate Heart!
Yes! I received an extra 50 cents for every dead chipmunk I picked up in Rob's house; Geralyn and I saved up all that money to buy mousetraps for our house. Death to the vermin!! Safe in the midst of blarney!
