Keeping it simple

Keep it simple. What seems complex in our minds may not be complex in reality. We may not really be in the mess we think we are in. Serenity is available today if we accept today as it is, setting aside both yesterday and tomorrow. If we do what we need to do today, we will be in harmony and at peace.

What we need to be doing out there is right here, right now; it is as close as our spouse, children, job, and fellows in recovery.

Am I keeping it simple?

Higher Power, help me let go of everything
that interferes with simply doing
what I need to be doing right now.

I will simplify my life today by tending to
what is mine to do, right here, right now.

"Keep it simple" are the words I try to live by. Words DR. Bob said to Bill W. before he passed away. Three words that go to so many different levels of recovery. Another phrase that is drilled into my mind (and recovery) is "Acceptence is the answer to all my problems". These two phrase's have helped me so many different times that they are ingrained in my mind (programed).

Keep it simple means we over think things
