The other day a few of us gathered at Dry Falls Brewery on Kanuga. Larry Anderson, a popular musician, psychologist and philosopher pulled out his guitar to share a few bars of his favorite songs and a few notes from a pop psychologist from the eighties;
Albert Ellis (September 27, 1913 – July 24, 2007) was an American psychologist and psychotherapist who founded Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT).
Based on a 1982 professional survey of US and Canadian psychologists, he was considered the second most influential psychotherapist in history (Carl Rogers ranked first in the survey; Sigmund Freud was ranked third).[3][4]
A part of today’s theme was was Serenity.
God grant me Serenity to Accept the things I cannot change.
We cannot change this horrible war in Ukraine. We cannot change the minds of certain politicians in America. We cannot change the losses we have suffered in our own lives and so we must learn to accept them. Do our best to accept them. To give of ourselves when called upon and to accept that our little bitty shitty life is the only one we’ve got so get over yourself and make the most of it.
So to Larry, John, Bob, James, Ben and other like minded and compassionate people I say
Thank you!
