I am continually amazed at how easily my mood can change, how waking up to a bright sunny day can erase the bad feelings that were gathered just the night before. For example: yesterday I was in a constant state of nervousness - thinking about work, unfinished writing projects and money, and wondering if I'll have the time to watch the Sex and the City videos I rented from Blockbuster before their tomorrow due date. I spent over three hours painting my fingernails for the first time in my life, finally crawling under the covers at almost 2:00 in the morning. This morning, though, I woke up inspired with potential writing genius and the mindset that this, too, shall pass. It doesn't take much for me to get worked up; more people than I care to admit can testify to that. Today may be the first day I've truly understood that:
1. The "big things" in life are always unpredictable, so just roll with the punches
2. Brooding over how much work there is to do just prevents you from actually getting it done
3. Savings accounts were made to be emptied
4. It's perfectly normal to recover from writer's block the morning a piece is due
5. I can buy Sex and the City on DVD (which can be accomplished by doing #3)
6. Nail polish is fun, even when it's a pain in the a**
and, finally,
7. God won't give you more than you can handle.
See ya - I've got a story to write.
I totally dig your positive 'tude, dude!
Pass it on, my friend!
Preach Preachah!
