Those of us who live in one day at a time recovery know the reality of serenity. We know serenity because we have no other choice but to. Touching moments of this experience of being has a calming effect on not only our minds, but also our bodies. These moments become spiritual experiences of peace. We need these moments to help give us clarity when we have to face struggles. The experience of serenity gives us the courage and the wisdom to realize and understand that adversity will pass. We learn this because serenity helps us to understand that we are loved and that we have love to give. For ourselves, and for others. We also experience the love for creation. In addition to this we can become grateful for the gift of acceptance. We might not know that the moments in which we have experienced serenity we are being given the gifts of humility and awareness. Other people will recognize the peace we are experiencing before us. Most of us are simply surrendering to a healthier life. We learn this one day at a time. We have no other choice. This is the reality of serenity.
