Getting me through today - hitting a raccoon which tore up the front end of my car, for which I now have a $500 deductible at a time that's very tough for me financially, and while I'm in the middle of one of the most stressful times of my life overall:
Grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. That gets me through pretty much every day these days. Can I change what happened? No. Can I change the outcome? No. Can I accept that it is what it is without falling into the Pit of Despair? Yes. Can I look, with a head that isn't overwhelmed with stress and depression, at what I might be able to do to help get through this difficult time? Yes.

"Feelings aren't facts", "This too shall pass" or "You are not tragically unique" or more softly put...you aren't alone or the first one to go this.
But what helps most of all is to pick up the phone and talk to a friend who will be compassionate balanced with a little side of truth and reality.
