    The Serenity Prayer

    by Ngozi Osuagwu, MD | July 12th, 2020

    The Serenity Prayer

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

    Courage to change the things I can;

    And

    Wisdom to know the difference.

    Growing up, we had this prayer framed and hanging on the wall in our dining room. It did not mean a lot to me as a child. I would read it while eating and not think much of it. Now as an adult especially during this time of uncertainty, I find myself reciting this prayer daily.

    Here are some of the things I cannot change:

    • COVID 19 is here and I do not know when it will be eradicated in the United States.
    • I have no control over other people’s actions – there are people that will continue to have parties not wear mask and will travel anywhere they want to.
    • I cannot read minds – if you do not tell me what’s on your mind, I will not know.

    Here are the things I can change:

    • I can wear a face covering when I am in public.
    • I can keep social distancing.
    • I can do a “stay”-cation instead of a vacation.
    • I can finish all the home projects that I have put off for years.
    • I can exercise.
    • I can meditate.
    • I can cook more.
    • I can catch up with friends by calling them on the telephone instead of texting.
    • I can share information – for all who have children ages 2- 18 years old – Khan Academy is available for free. It is an excellent program to keep children engaged and to make sure they do not fall behind in academics.
    • I can make sure that my inner circle has completed the census and has registered to vote.

    Yes, there is more, but I will stop here.  I would urge each of you to reflect on this prayer and make your own list. You will find that you have more control that you think you have.

    The book discusses common gynecological and women’s health issues in a series of witty and entertaining letters. These letters, all educational, offer suggestions on what approaches to take in tackling the medical problems that typically bring women to an ob/gynecologist. The letters are spiced with art, a poem and quotes. Although its emphasis is on gynecology and women’s health, it touches on some other medical issues that make women visit their doctors.
