Good morning. My thought for today is Tolerance. Tolerance is defined as the capacity to endure, allow, or accept something you dislike, disagree with, or find difficult. Way back when I was getting sober, almost three decades ago, my sponsor told me that if there was some word whose meaning I wasn't clear on then I should look that word up. I still do that now but I can just google it these days, or ask AI. Back then, Webster's said that tolerance was the readiness to allow others the right to think, act, or believe as they see fit. The definition I found today was, according to AI, from Merriam-Webster. They are both smilar in meaning. It is about acceptance of things I disagree with. It would be great if everything went the way I wanted it to, if everyone's views were in agreement with mine, and if everyone had the same God as I do, but that just isn't so. And, if I want to have serenity in my day to day life, then I will need to accept those things as being the way they are supposed to be at this moment.
