Sat. For Today

December 10th, There's no limit to how complicated things can get, on account of one thing always leading to another. E. B. White One thing can lead to another only if I allow it. Celebrations needn't be the same fron one year to the next. Festivities can be simpler, there can be a switch in emphasis, a change of values. Who says holiday meals must be heavy and elaborate? Why not a simple, satisfying dinner with only the company of those I care about? If I stop and think about what is important, I can put aside the useless, the heavy, the habit. I can plan the holidays so as to be closer to my OA family as well as my own. For today: The true spirit of giving to myself and to others is in keeping it simple: to let nothing complicate my abstinence and my OA way of life.
