Working from a Rough Draft

Today's Gift from Hazelden is totally appropriate for me!

Detaching, or letting go, is a way of allowing the will of our Higher Power to flow through our lives. When we have a desire, we direct our attention to it. We pray and meditate, releasing our intention, and then we relax and enjoy our days. We accept that things right now are as they should be. We detach, knowing that our Higher Power is taking care of business.

With this assurance, we know we are not creating more problems for ourselves and others. For our Higher Power to get its job done, we detach ourselves from any rigid interpretation of the outcome. We remain open to experiencing whatever comes our way. If the outcome is not as we desired, we know that's okay. We know that our Higher Power has even better plans in store for us. We remain open to the uncertainty. We find comfort and joy in the uncertainty.

Today I will stop writing final scripts for my various dreams. I will work only from a rough draft, a version open to change.
