You know, I've noticed that when my eyes are open, there's noise. Automobile noise, radios, television, lawn mowers, yabbering, whatever. It's messy.
I value my serenity. I was thinking to myself after going to a couple meetings this weekend, "Self? Serenity has become an addiction." And I value it tremendously. Looking back, that noise looked like activity, companionship, contact and 'learning...' Noise... Yeah, just NOISE.
I've finished reading "Conversations With God," by Neale Donald Walsch and, while I don't aspire to all of his thoughts, I'm certainly convinced that MY higher power, MY HP, can reach me in any medium and message if my mind is tuned to W-GOD (VWGirl, I LOVED the K-F*@ reference!), but it's certainly a whole lot clearer and more meaningful if it's in the peace of serenity sans all the artificial crap. I think that's why very early on in my sobriety when I was running every morning out in the solace of the dawning light with the planets and stars in the heavens or the wildlife waking up with very little interruption from Man's interminable demand to be noticed.
So anyway, today's subject for ME is a continuing, expanding, caring serenity.

skg I look forward to finding the serenity you speak of. I haven't got there yet but I am a lot more peaceful and accepting of circumstances than I used to be.Believe it or not many times in my minds eye I see ACCEPTANCE the way you have written it across the page and by doing that you have given me something to hang on to when I start to feel fear and want to control. So see your posts do send inspiring messages. Keep posting all your positive energy because the vibes do come through. Oceans away,isn't that amazing.? Thank you for being here.Have a great day!
