Those of us living in one day at a time recovery know that, at times, we have to accept difficulties. Sometimes life is about living the good and the bad. Even when we are going through difficulties, we might go through them with the knowledge that this too shall pass. We can put one foot in front of the other and just do what we can do. Acceptance and realistic participation, on our part, is more than likely all we can do. The difficulties that might be during these times is that time takes time. This can be a hardship, because when we are too stressed, we can become obsessed with the difficulty instead of the solution. We know that we need to let it go and let time take time. If we breathe and participate in self-care accepting difficulties will pass we can be okay. Experience has shown us this. One day at a time we can ask others for help and we can even pray a bit. We can very well find the sense of ease we usually have when we are less stressed and when our difficulties are few. We know that life is life and we just need live it. Anything else is a bonus. The universe is unfolding as it will. We will know peace.
