The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
The ODAT today suggests that just because we practice Al-Anon,it does not mean that life will always be completely joyful and happy. It points out that when we are strengthened by the Al-Anon philosophy, we find ourselves able to look at things in their proper perspective and that by starting each day with the serenity prayer and the third step, we prepare ourselves to look for the good that life has to offer.
The quote is:" I pray to accept, with a serene mind, the things I cannot change, knowing it is futile to be obstinate about the inevitable. I pray to be resolute to take action that must be changed.".
This prayer says it all. Acceptance of life on life's terms and the courage to change what I can .
As I was typing the" Date" I was reminded that today is ny son's Birthday . So many memories -- Please remember him and myself in your prayers
