Hi roomies,
It has been a while since I've posted.
I've had a series of opportunities for growth ... Some things that a few years ago would have upset me terribly, now just seem specially sent to get me to where I am to be. That 4th step that my sponsor and I only got partially through ... an opportunity to finish the hard part was laid at my feet as a constructive way to address issues raised by my ex. Was it challenging? Yes, and it provided clarity and peace. Work issues have gotten clearer as I've gotten clearer about what is my business and what is outside my control, and learning how to detach from that which is not my business. Detachment is a wonderful thing (today's Courage to Change) but, for me, even more wonderful is to get to the point where I can "know the difference" between accepting the things I cannot change and the courage to change the things I can.
Starting each day with the prayer that I put my will and life in HP's hands, because I now have come to see that my true will and HP's are really the same, so I just pray for the grace and guidance to know the next right thing to do.
I still have much to learn, tho I recognize I've gotten this far because of these rooms, and all those who have shared these rooms with me.
Gratefully,
emma
