Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Changes
Change your thoughts, and you change your world. — Norman Vincent Peale
We learn from the program that all of our lives are made up of changes. Life for us can be like the seasons of the year. The uncomfortable blizzards of winter will pass. Spring brings flowers. Chattering birds fill the air with song where once there was wind, snow, and ice.
We know summer will follow spring. We learn to take the bad with the good. Hardships can make us stronger. Suffering cannot last forever. The key is to see life with optimism. We know that the changing of the seasons is like the changes in our lives.
When we use the Serenity Prayer, we may occasionally lose sight of its meaning. We need to concentrate on the differences between what we can change and what we can’t.
I trust and believe that the changes in my recovery life are like the changing of the seasons. They are necessary and good for me.
