One day at a time.
Don’t dredge up yesterday,
don’t borrow from tomorrow.
One day begun by looking
at what’s scheduled,
by stopping at the beginning
seeking guidance, asking willingness,
surrendering. A day spent
doing the next right thing,
using tools, keeping abstinent,
living in the present,
sweeping your own street
and leaving others’ business to them.
A day concluded by looking back,
analyzing the day, making amends
if any are needed. A day spent in peace
no matter what happens all around,
and calling that day finished,
beginning again the next day
to have a day that at the end
you can call a good day.
