Serenity's Song

It seems to me that life, and even all of creation, is a song; a huge, multi-layered symphony. When I am in harmony with that song, and part of the chorus, all is well with me. It flows. Life flows. And I am filled with serenity. And peace. And joy. And all that good stuff, all of those good feelings that we feel when in grace.

Too often, in my past, I have been out of harmony, a part of the cacophony of self-will run riot. I have blundered around trying to figure it all out for myself, instead of relying on my higher power to guide me through the rapids of some "tough times."

There have been a lot of years that I have practiced in the choir, worked at following direction, attempted to allow harmony to overtake my being. Now, I realize that it is not mine to ever be the director, nor would I wish to be. I have also come to understand that I'm not to be the star singer either.

The recognition that I seek is within myself: that I have come to a place of humble service and gratitude, that all of life is worth singing about, that everyday is a gift, and that I continue do my part to the best of my ability. My higher power will do the rest.

The serenity cards are an out-pouring of love for all in recovery, and all those yet to discover recovery. They are an affirmation of my belief in my higher power, and the guidance that brought me to this doorstep.

You are welcome here. I would love to see this blog develop into a forum for sharing of serenity, peace, and all of the other gifts you have received, in recovery and otherwise.
