Many people living in one day at a time recovery most certainly understand that we will develop reasonable expectations when reality unwinds. Such a reality is that while in our pain and our difficulties we will often lack the ability to accept that we are a small part of the big picture and that the universe is unfolding as it should. Often we become bitter and frustrated because we cannot be more, see more, or do more. Life, age, and recovery are a funny thing. Adaptation (which is a wonderful thing) makes it easier to have reasonable expectations and accept reality as it unfolds. Often we are learning lessons in the realities of life and humility. Acceptance brings us to the reality of being enough. We don’t need to be any more. It’s a simple gratifying spiritual endeavor. Peace.
