AA Thought for the Day

Expectations

What right do I have to expect perfection and efficiency
in my spiritual growth when the rest of my life
is so full of ups and downs, ins and outs, and backs and forths?
Throughout this whole adventure, the only consistency I have maintained
is an absolute and total faith in AA, come what may.
Happiness happens when results exceed expectations.
