- for the freedom to stay up until midnight working
- that I have humor back in my life
- for yesterday's coffee clatch with AP in her back yard
- to be able to share the wonders of sobriety with another and to hear what I needed to hear--that I am right where I am supposed to be
- that the other day I realized I am in my third year of sobriety
- that today holds many things to make me smile
- that The Weather Channel is using the instrumental intro for 'Papa Was a Rolling Stone' for the local forecasts. That is one of my very favorite songs.
- that Beau joins us as the newest Houston recovering blogger
Our very first problem is to accept our present circumstances as they are, ourselves as we are, and the people about us as they are. This is to adopt a realistic humility without which no genuine advance can even begin. Again and again, we shall need to return to that unflattering point of departure. This is an exercise in acceptance that we can profitably practice every day of our lives.
Provided we strenuously avoid turning these realistic surveys of the facts of life into unrealistic alibis for apathy or defeatism, they can be the sure foundation upon which increased emotional heath and therefore spiritual progress can be built. -As Bill Sees It

Acceptance is the solution to all of our problems.
