AA Thought for the Day

May 21, 2002

One Day At A Time

We are taught to differentiate between our wants
(which are never satisfied)
and our needs (which are always provided for).
We cast off the burdens of the past
and the anxieties of the future,
as we begin to live in the present, one day at a time.
We are granted "the serenity to accept the things
we cannot change" --
and thus lose our quickness to anger
and our sensitivity to criticism.

Thought to Ponder....

Manage your expectations.
You will never be disappointed.
