“Let’s not louse this thing up. Let’s keep it simple.” ~ Dr. Bob to Bill W.

We must breathe to live.
What else MUST we do?
Nothing. Everything else,
all of life, is a choice.
Other things are advisable,
some choices cause far less stress
than their counterparts,
but for each decision we have a choice,
I can finish this poem or play mindless games.
The worldwide ripple is slight if I choose easy.
But choosing simple,
opting to write the two thousand
two hundred sixty-ninth daily dose
is simple, is a decision I can be proud of
today, tomorrow and for days to come.
Deciding to sirrender,
to do the next right thing
is not always easy but is simple.
And today I choose simple.
