Are You Up to It?

The question was about going to the gym,
the answer, "No, but I'm going for you."
We chose not today, tomorrow we'll be back.
But the question lingered as I returned to the desk
to get out this morning's poem. Simple answer
when it means weight loss is, "Heck, NO!"
and even maintaining after many years is
"Of my own power, no, but yes with HP,"
and when it means getting to meetings can be
"I would rather not, but I'll go for you,
for the meeting, and because it's when I'm not
that I need to go most." Are you up to it?The answer is yes, if you remember
all you have to do is show up, listen,
read the literature, and do the next right thing.
