This prayer means a lot to me too--considering that I am disabled and have been for 43 of my 73 years.
That is something I cannot change. I know that and I accept that I cannot change that. It is an obvious conclusion.
Because of this I just might have changed my attitude toward people in that I always put on a smiling face and discovered that I have a sense of humour.... moreso than when younger.
A part of me feels surreal, like this couldn't happen to me, but the rest of me says that I can deal with what I have left.
I notice that if I am "ever out of sorts", it is usually from someone else's behaviour (but I keep silent, as I am no saint) but usually am most upset if I cannot sleep and my days and nights are screwed around.
Another something that does bother me is if I see an injustice done to someone, and I can do nothing about it!
When one thinks very seriously about this, it becomes rather obvious if there is something that one can change to make things better.
In spite of all my years in a family and wanting someone to care, I had to extricate myself from them to feel as "free" as I do, after realizing that hanging on was only detrimental to me and feeding their egos.
