We are unhappy with ourselves , our families and even our friends. We tend to rely on others to make us happy, feel needed and useful. What a relief it is when we finally come to realize that our happiness comes from within. Our own attitude about life directs our actions and gives us a purpose.

It is time to celebrate our accomplishments with our sobriety and be strong when the chips are down. A New Year’s Resolution could be a promise to reach out to others as the Big Book teaches to catch others who may be falling. In doing so, we become stronger ourselves.

Our journey is a personal journey with its’ own ups and downs. Some days our journey brings us to the mountain peak where everything is as it should be. We have stayed sober another day, we have our health, our loved ones. Today our hearts are filled with joy and thankfulness.

I don’t necessarily think this is true. There are circumstances in life that we truly have no control over such as the weather, disease, death. We don’t have power over what desires we have, but we do have power over what actions we take. When these circumstances present themselves to us, we are powerless over them buthttp://www.wendellsinc.com/tools/serenityblog/2007/08/finding-strength-in-wind.htmlSuetag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808106343642297803.post-1755892395148608115Mon, 02 Jul 2007 03:58:00 +00002007-07-01T22:20:39.571-06:00 Our busy daily lives can have us being pulled in many different directions. Whether it is our children, our jobs, everyday life can leave us frazzled with feelings of not being in control. We learn quickly that we need to find time to just sit and let our minds wander to special places where we can find our Serenity and re-fuel our souls.

This is a difficult action in that we all like to have control. The mere thought of giving that up is very scary and yet it is only when we do, our lives become more manageable.
