God grant me the courage to change the things that I can...................

Life can be a boring ritual, daily marching through dull tasks and dark spirits. But happiness will come again. Life is not a constant struggle or hunt for happiness.

Grant me the wisdom to know the difference.................................

We can make something ugly or beautiful out of the clay of our lives.......

We may consider the material world as clay. Now human beings can choose bad intentions, resentments, hate and revenge; or they can choose good intentions. Love and good will. We can make something ugly or something beautiful out of the clay of our lives. Hazelden Sign in to see full entry.

I'm no mathematician, and I may not know what a whole lot of nines are.....

Natural and spiritual laws drive our serenity.........................

Today's lesson from the twelve step literature focuses on the immutability of natural laws. It makes them dependable, if at times crushingly stern. Spiritual laws, by analogy, are there for us to witness and partake in. Whether or not you believe in a spiritual or religious life, these laws bear on... Sign in to see full entry.

The "Serenity Moment" is back! Y'all come...

It is true that most of us have already passed through the dark stage of our lives. The times when we were afraid and remorseful. Every day that we turn our will and our lives over to the care of a higher power, we are more and more able to relax in the spirit of each day. Accepting this one day as...
