just for today
i will not roll my eyes back into my head
when a client calls who is so obnoxious, stuck up, pretentious
and full of their own glory that it takes every ounze of strength i have not say to say "shut the fuck up you inflated idiot!"
just for today
i will not wonder, wonder, wonder...why so many people can not read or listen to an opinion other than their own without becoming hostile
just for today
i will not obsess about the bastard clients from a couple weeks ago
who thought it was acceptable to stiff their entire staff of 30 out of their tip
just for today
i will not go to the gym and stare like as if staring at a train wreck
at the Chasidic man who works out in gym shorts with no underware
just for today
i will not get angry at my significant other for not being a little more understanding over whatever issue of the day i have deemed life altering
just for today
i will not look around my apartment and wish it were just another 100 square feet bigger
just for today
i will tackle a technological issue, like the changing of my answering machine for a new one, without being so overwhelmed by the instruction manual that i shut down completely and sit on the floor and whine
just for today
i will not..tell anyone...anyone...at all..
that i have allergies
just for today
i will get dressed, put on lipstick
fluff my hair and not find anything about my personal appearance
to dislike intensely
just for today
i will read a newspaper without
becoming terribly upset
angry
or sad
just for today
i will write from my heart
something anything
and not thing about it as an item waiting to be published
but rather as a purging of my creative soul
just for today
i will eat something without even thinking about
how it is made
and whether or not i can make it better
just for today
i will not feel guilty about anything i have ever done
even that kid i hit in the 2nd grade
just for today
i will step outside and smell the air
and look around and try to find the beauty of life
hidden right in front of my face
just for today
i will not mourn the loss
of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
just for today
i will take a &^%#&*(((&&^%$#^&&** Midol
and get over myself
