Help me with ipernity! I can only see new pictures as updates on the page. I have to click them to read what is written under them. And I can't seem to find where to go to to see if someone else has commented on them. What am ibdoing wrong? I keep seeing how much like Multiply this is but I must be missing something!

Serenity...
How appropriate to this week! I had to find the Serenity Prayer in its entirety for my boss this morning. Her sermon this week is called "Spiritual Makeover- from Anger to Acceptance." I know there is a lot of anger surrounding Multiply's decision to discontinue the social aspects of the site. There is some acceptance, too, with people already finding a new home and trying to settle in. So hopefully we move from anger to acceptance and get on with our blogging lives. I'm mommadish at LiveJournal and several of us are there trying to figure out how to navigate this new system. I leave you this prayer, in its original published form by Reinhold Neibuhr, to give you some peace about this whole thing:
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace.
Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it;
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.
