With Mayo Clinic oncologist Edward T. Creagan, M.D.

Good morning friends:

It is so obvious that many of us struggle to keep a balance in our lives. One colleague was distracted over a work-related issue with no clear resolution. It festered for months and our colleague developed hives and profound fatigue.

A therapist explained that he had lost his serenity over the work problem, had directed his energy to that issue at the expense of others, and the result was that his health deteriorated.

The lesson for me:

Accept what we cannnot change, have the courage to change the things we can change, and find the wisdom to know the difference. In short, that's the serenity prayer. Stay well ... Dr. Ed.
