Gratitude and Acceptance
Saturday, November 22, 2014
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
The Magic of Gratitude and Acceptance
Gratitude and acceptance are two magic tricks available to us in recovery. No matter who we are, where we are, or what we have, gratitude and acceptance work.
We may eventually become so happy that we realize our present circumstances are good. Or we master our present circumstances and then move forward into the next set of circumstances.
If we become stuck, miserable, feeling trapped and hopeless, try gratitude and acceptance. If we have tried unsuccessfully to alter our present circumstances and have begun to feel like we're beating our head against a brick wall, try gratitude and acceptance.
If we feel like all is dark and the night will never end, try gratitude and acceptance.
If we feel scared and uncertain, try gratitude and acceptance.
If we've tried everything else and nothing seems to work, try gratitude and acceptance.
If we've been fighting something, try gratitude and acceptance.
When all else fails, go back to the basics.
Gratitude and acceptance work.
Today, God, help me let go of my resistance. Help me know the pain of a circumstance will stop hurting so much if I accept it. I will practice the basics of gratitude and acceptance in my life, and for all my present circumstances.

When life stops me in my tracks and I'm not sure what to do, sometimes just accepting that things are exactly as they are supposed to be right now helps.
Gratitude helps even more. Remembering all the good things in my life and all the many blessings that have come my way, keeps my candle of hope alight for better days ahead.
They say if you can't change your circumstance, change your attitude...and gratitude and acceptance are a wonderful place to start.
