My theme(s) for this year are Mindfulness and Acceptance. Mindfulness means staying in the present, being aware of my life as it is occurring and taking time for meditation and stillness. Acceptance of myself (with strengths and weaknesses, ups and downs, shiny spots and flaws) and of others (ditto!).

My theme for this year is Serenity. At http://www.hazelden.org on Decmber 25 they wrote “Try the Serenity Prayer instead of New Year’s resolutions”. As a member of Nar-anon, this makes perfect sense to me. I think the hardest part is to accept the things we can’t change.
I just recently found this website and I look forward to reading it every day.
