There are some people living in one day at a time recovery who understand the reality of reasonable happiness. Reasonable happiness occurs when we are able to live in recovery while being free from active addiction and living healthy, generous, altruistic lives while trying to be reasonable and realistic about our journeys. Part of living such lives are that we cannot do this all the time but such reasonable and empathetic realities do happen enough that we get to claim the reality of reasonable happiness. In as such we do a lot of soul seeking and a we partake in a lot practice to deal with our own adversity which we often overcome or accept one day at time. To overcome that which can be changed or to accept that which cannot be changed is a stepping stone in reality. Others often want to be a part of this reality for their own peace of mind. Perhaps others have modelled such realities for us, and we unknowingly model it for others. In doing so we live reasonably happy lives. When we do as such we are not settling for second rate lives. We are a part of human reality living as people with humility who can have happy, joyous and free lives living in reality while we are being reasonable and kind. Not only to others but to ourselves as well. We are stepping into growth. The miracle is a one day at a time event and it is happening now. It’s a gift. Peace.
