This was shared last night at my meeting and I'd like to share with others....
(BB 4th edition, pg. 417)
When I stopped living in the problem and began living in the answer, the problem went away.
And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation-some fact of my life-unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God's world by mistake. Until I could accept my alcoholism (addiction), I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes.
Today, for me, I will accept that I am exactly where I am supposed to be and I will focus on me and my attitudes and not take other's inventory and with that, I can keep my serenity.....
Thank you for letting me share....
God bless

And thats such a hard pill to swallow Stacey, no pun intended, but when I really looked at myself and my part in situations I didn't always liked what I saw.
Putting my defenses down made my life more manageable.
Hope you're having a great morning,

It's a beautiful morning Redd...
For me, when I put the defenses down and do look at myself, if I see something I don't like it's because it is time for it to be revealed to me so that I may change it....Changing my attitude and my way of life has never been so freeing, difficult and hard, but so worth it....
For me, I try very hard to live in the day and enjoy the moments as it is the little moments of time in a day that make the memories...The sunrise this morning was breathtaking again and with rain coming, I need to enjoy them while I can enjoy them....
Life still happens and I do have an issue or two that I am dealing with, but I do the footwork, and give the rest to God and trust that I will be okay with the results...(his results, lol, not mine)
Glad to see you back around as I missed seeing you....
(((big hugs)))
