AA Thought for the Day

In the life of the spirit, there is no small, there is no ugly.
Paradoxically, inwardness increases the importance
of other people and of one's surroundings.
All five senses are more alert. The feeling is one of completeness.
Sometimes, I am at ease in the world for days at a time.
Then this serenity goes away, but the understanding continues.
My shortcomings have not disappeared -- anger, self-pity,
hastiness, envy, selfishness, resentments.
But they have lessened, because I know
that when I do not exert control over these shortcomings,
the harmony of completeness vanishes.

Thought to Ponder....

Serenity isn't freedom from the storm; it is peace within the storm.
