Quit Day

[caressa]

Today's thoughts from Hazelden are:

Quit Day

This is another day, O Lord.

I don't know what it will bring

For I have not scheduled anything.

If I am to sit still,

Help me to sit quietly.

If I am to rest,

Help me rest patiently.

And if I am to do nothing,

Help me do it serenely.

For it is Your will

For me to be comfortably quiet.

You are reading from the book:

The 12 Step Prayer Book Volume 2 by Bill P. and Lisa D.

This spoke to me because ir reminded me how important it is to stay in the moment and stay in today. It is okay to just be. I don't have to get busy and make things happen. I don't have to bring in the past or project into the future, but just be in the now.

We must remember we don't quit for forever, we do this one day at a time. Just for today, I choose not to use people, places and things to take me out of what and where I need to be in today.

Have been looking for comfort and quiet. A few hours ago it was hectic and chaotic. I was able to find some peace within myself and not go into it. Everyone is gone. I can go visit the fish and stay awhile and have comfort.
