~ ACCEPTANCE ~

And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world
as what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes.

The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous

It is the human condition to dislike where we were or where we are. We seem to think that only some mystical non-existent person, place, thing or situation will make us happy. If only our spouse loved us as we wanted to be loved ... if only the boss would see and appreciate my contributions ... if only my house and children were perfect. We sit year after year speculating and fantasizing our lives away.

It tells us in the Serenity Prayer to ask God for the wisdom to know His will for us. We will live in darkness and despair until we learn that God is here, in charge and loving His children. I must, through prayer and meditation, seek God's will and do the next right thing. The only things in my life to be fixed are my attitudes, and only God can, and will, do that if I do the footwork, just for today

One day at a time...
I will seek, and accept God's will for my life.
