A little morning meditation. This is a passage that plays in my head countless times a day. It's truly helped me in some of my tougher moments. I hope it can be of help to someone else today.

              And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, situation — some fact of my life — unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God’s world by mistake. Until I could accept my disease, I could not stay sober; Unless I accept life completely on life’s terms,
              I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes.

Thank you so much for this. I read it at just the right time, and already I’m feeling more serene

Yes it is a good tool. I especially used it in the beginning. That first year is a doozy. I still use it sometimes today but not as much as I used to. I guess it's embedded in my attitude.
