my daily reflections…

i use the serenity prayer often. it is a prayer that offers me peace of mind when i am full of myself. whether its my ego or fear, anger or frustration, control or unmanageability, the serenity prayer reminds me just who i am. it humbles me remindin me that i am not God. that control over people, places, or things, are areas i have no business tryin to delegate over. it offers me acceptance of self the world around me. it reminds me that courage is brought to me by adherence to the maintenance of the relationship i have with my HP. then it emphasizes the fact that i need to use the wisdom i have gained through personal inventory to assist in the knowledge of the experiences i have had in the past that may seem similar to whats goin on in my life in the present moment. it helps me to use manageable, realistic, solutions i found through recovery to be someone that i could never have been before my recovery began. it puts me in a position to be useful to myself and others, rather than a festerin pimple on the ass of humanity, harmin others and in all reality, harmin myself. today i desire to live. i have discovered value in my life. i have experienced personal self-esteem. i am able to feel, talk, trust, and laugh again. i desire to live fully! usin this simple prayer emboldens my want to continue my spiritual journey into self from which i discovered God and this world. i get to use the boundaries i have set for the useful, and effective, good they protect others and myself with. as i continue to learn to know myself by definin my boundaries and choosin when and when not to cross them, the serenity prayer strengthens my resolve to be someone i have never been before. i get to live the spiritual awakenin, my greatest gift, not to a destination, but to an everlastin journey. facin all, intuitively trustin Him, i get the good fortune, to allow recovery to enhance everythin in my life. with a prayer for guidance positively forward, i get to continue to have the peace of mind and humility the promises tout. 1 day @ a time...
