I'm Listening

*
Every day at least one person and sometimes as many as 3 or 4 ask me: "Anything new from the court?" Well, the answer today is the same that it has been for the last 6 months. I don't see it changing any time soon either.

I know the people asking me are only asking because they genuinely care about (S) and what is happening with her, but it gets more and more irritating every day.

I have never been through anything like this before so it is a new experience. I am used to things being done in a more efficient manner and if they aren't, I do something about it. Unfortunately, I have no power over this one. I am reminded of the serenity prayer that goes something like this:.

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I can not change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

Well, at least I have the wisdom to know that I can't change this, now I guess I just need some of that serenity. I will keep trying the prayer, but if anyone out there has any better ideas, I'm listening.
