Not just this weekend’s nonstop weather report, but every day, 24/7, social media is inundated with tempest warnings of all kinds. To balance my intake of mania, I often recite some of my favorite 12-Step slogans:

  1. One Day at a Time
  2. Easy Does It
  3. Let Go and Let God
  4. Keep It Simple
  5. First Things First
  6. Live and Let Live
  7. Progress Not Perfection
  8. Just for Today
  9. Think Think Think
  10. This Too Shall Pass.

And because January is National Polka Music Month, I will decide to put First Things First, go out of my way to Keep Things Simple, and One Day at a Time, I will dance my way through today, tomorrow, and the next day because This Too Shall Pass.

Just for Today, help me keep in Step, so as not to trip and slip. Ready? Then, let’s dance! A-One, A-Two.
