Sunday Chip----Chaos/Serenity This chip jumped out at me when I was making my selection today. It's quiet and peaceful at my house today, Honey has a nice fire roaring in the fireplace. The weather outside is kind of gray and gloomy but inside it is very serene. I'm beginning to think that the only time I have chaos in my life, it's of my own creation. There can never be an argument if there is only one person involved.  Letting go and Letting God, is helping me to have fewer moments of chaos. Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl |

I know that now days I sure don't go out of my way to set myself up for chaos. The way I use to live and the way I use to do things was a sure setup for chaos. As far as work and things to do I will never get caught up and probably don't want to. But as for having an exciting life otherwise-----------not me. I love my boring life. Nice to be be able to call a friend of my Jerry instead of yes your Honor. Fun how we all look at what is peaceful. Cherie was walking about the fireplace and how peaceful it was. I little bit ago I was out side shoveling snow thinking about how peaceful it was. This peaceful living for me is just another
bi-product of staying sober and doing what is right.
Merry Christmas to you,
Ron

This chip never did make sense to me. It sounds to me like serenity means a state of my own mind...how I amfeeling right now. But chaos is nothing like that. Chaos is what craziness is going on aroudn me..
TOday IO have both. But I have enough serenity that i dont let the chaos make me crazy.
Today my hubby drank...at least a pint. I spotted the bottle by accident. What am I doing abotu it? Not saying anything to him and I am going to my f2f alanon meeting tonight.
The OLD Lin woudl have stayed home to be sure he does not leave and get anotehr bottle. Not me today. I need my meeting and that is where I'll be. If he chooses to leave...that's his choice and he can take the chance of getting picked up or not.

It is a real gift to be able to find the peace of mind when the chaos is around me. The chaos use to be my mind and I am glad that I can sort that out and obtain the peace. As my doctor says, "A healthy mind makes for a healthy body." So often a lot of that chaos is created by my own internal chatter and often caused by not making that daily connect to my HP first thing in the morning or forgetting that He is there and all I have to do is pause and tap into the power that is available to me, one day at a time.
