Finding The Good...
FINDING THE GOOD:
Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace within the storm. ---- Anonymous
We learn in recovery that life has a way of recreating & regenerating itself. This is a discovery we are taught not to fight. We learn that it is much easier to swim with the current than to swim against it. We remember how badly we hurt when things would pass away from us, whether it was a lost doll, a lost dog, or a lost dad. We closed ourselves off to the possibility that anything of value or of good could possibly come from such loss. Yet the doll was replaced, a cat came into our lives, and a father figure emerged.
The key to staying 'all in' in our Program is to remember that life does infact, recreate & regenerate itself. There will be many moments when we find ourselves squarely in the middle of a passing away of something or someone we love & feel is irreplaceable. We will be hurt and wonder what life really means. We may even wonder how we can go on & move forward from here.
Do not worry too deeply, for this too shall pass. The blotting out of the sun is only an agonizing eclipse in our life's journey The cold winter of this moment will soon break into a hopeful & sunny spring of our future.
There can be no comings if there are no goings. Life can not be recreated & regenerated if there is no passing away. I need to remember that sometimes it is darkest before a most pleasing dawn.
