So I was at work tonight, with a home care client, and spotted a little plaque with the Serenity Prayer, had never noticed it before in her house.
What stuck out - I never really saw it written this way - was that three words were in larger font than the rest: SERENITY, COURAGE, WISDOM
Somehow I've never isolated those words before.. but that's everything I want out of life.. and I think that's what I get through faith. Having faith now, in myself as well as in my higher power, is allowing me to live with serenity, courage and/or wisdom in all situations.
In sobriety, I can take life as it comes, until the situation calls for action, and then I have the courage to do what I have to do, and everything is an opportunity for gaining wisdom.
It's little 'aha' moments like this that make my recovery seem miraculous.. it just didn't happen in the blink of an eye.
