God of all creation, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to help create so many worthwhile projects and programs. It has truly been an honor to participate in the good governance of my City, even if at times I have grumbled and moaned my way through it. In a way these programs are my babies. Grant me the wisdom and the grace to let them go, to see my bureaucratic creations shepherded to new places by new people. Help me to trust that my creative days are not ending, but that I will have a hand in co-creating new and different things on this crazy wonderful path of life that lies ahead. In gratitude and faith I pray. Amen.
