> A.A. Thought for the Day
>
> Before alcoholics come into A.A., they are "flying blind." But A.A. gives them a directed beam in the A.A. program. As long as they keep on this beam, the signal of sobriety keeps coming through. If they have a slip, the signal is broken. if they swing off course into drunkenness, the signal stops. Unless they regain the A.A. directed beam, they are in danger of crashing against the mountain peak of despair. Am I on the beam?
> Meditation for the Day
>
> Be expectant. Constantly expect better things. Believe that what God has in store for you is better than anything you ever had before. The way to grow old happily is to expect better things right up to the end of your life and even beyond that. A good life is a growing, expanding life, with ever widening horizons, an ever greater circle of friends and acquaintances, and an ever greater opportunity for usefulness.
>
> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may await with complete faith for the next good thing in store for me. I pray that I may always keep an expectant attitude toward life.

> The following is Excerpt No. 20 from As Bill Sees It : “Light from a Prayer”
> God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, & the wisdom to know the difference.
> Grapevine March 1962
>
> We treasure our "serenity prayer" because it brings new light to us that can dissipate our old-time & nearly fatal habit of fooling ourselves.
>
> In the radiance of this prayer we see that defeat, rightly accepted, need be no disaster. We now know that we do not have to run away, nor ought we try to overcome adversity by still another bulldozing power drive that can only push up obstacles before us faster than they can be taken down.
