Dear Bad Day: An Open Letter

6/5/2012

4 Comments

 
Dear bad day,

I despise you.  Loathe you.  Don’t like anything about you.  Today I wanted happiness.  Today I had good hair – wasted on angry words, judgment and meanness.  Today felt just fine until the ugly crept in, insidious and sneaking, setting up camp right in my gut where it’s feeding on my insides. 

I’m exhausted from the gnawing coming inside out.  Tired from all the battling this day has seen.  The fatigue has crept in and now the only remedy for the slinking ugliness is rest. Perhaps sleep will drown out the voices of the day; dimming sadness, causing it to fade away.  Maybe the darkness of rest will bring lightness to tomorrow. 

And just like that, I banish you from my existence.  You are gone.

 You have no power here.   

Tomorrow you will be a distant memory,


Me

I have bad days and good days. There is tension in my neighborhood and that makes me nervous some days. I also get down about not being able to walk long distances and not being able to afford a pool membership on top of the WW dues. Oh well i say i will keep trying. My hardest time is at night when watching TV or on the Internet. Thats when the urge to snack is the worst.

Bad days are part of our lives. Take a deep breath, unclench your hands, release the negative energy and let the good energy return.

They can't keep a good woman down for long. Especially one with good hair.
