The Department of Why Not?

Here's my prayer to say in my car before going back into my home. I'll tell you how it works, later.

Great Spirit,
which moves through all things,

Grant me the humor
to laugh with my family,

Grant me the flexibility
to handle the unexpected and the disappointing

Grant me the strength
to instill high standards without being over-bearing, to be supportive even in the toughest times

Grant me the faith
to know that as long as we stick with each other, everything will be all right

Grant me the love
to overcome, to embrace, to cuddle, to caress, to play, to live
