Life, actually…
.
THE MAN WHO COULD PREDICT THE PAST
.
I live mostly in the past.
.
Why, you ask, do I make such a statement?
.
For one thing, back here in the Past, I can re-enact all things troublesome and make them somewhat more bearable. Or at least re-sort them into less mysterious configurations.
.
What I shoulda done. What I shoulda said. What if I had turned this way instead of that way, at just the right moment?
.
What really happened that time back then, instead of what I supposed was happening?
.
Great questions to ask myself when my brain is in between heavy copings and lazy meanderings.
.
Anyhow, come join me in re-organizing the past. Seeing life from different angles can be useful. Or at least hilarious.
.
Let’s suppose I could actually alter the past, thus altering the future? Would I do anything significant, or would I just pick on the little things?
.
I wave my magic wand and proclaim:
.
NATIONAL NO HONKING DAY. Lay that heavy hand down and listen to the quiet.
.
NATIONAL FILL YOUR LUNCH PLATE UP SOLELY WITH FOODS YOU DETEST DAY. You might surprise yourself by eating from a different perspective. I learned to love spinach when I last did this.
.
NATIONAL TRIM THAT THREE-INCH HAIR GROWING OUT OF YOUR EAR DAY. There’s always something I missed. Catching up can be soul-relaxing.
.
NATIONAL THANK SOMEONE YOU WOULD NEVER THINK TO THANK DAY. Yes, this is painful. But I feel so much better when I’m able to accomplish this.
.
NATIONAL SELF ESTEEM ADJUSTMENT DAY. Swipe away those negatories and concentrate on what’s good, no matter how small.
.
SPEND EXTRA QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR MOST OBNOXIOUS CUSTOMER OR NEIGHBOR DAY. This is hard but surprisingly revitalizing.
.
NO STEPPING ON ANTS DAY. Give them a day off!
.
NO RANTING DAY. If my idea of bliss is mouthing off at everything I disapprove of, this could be the day I change course and reduce coarseness.
.
And so on. You can make your own list.
.
Who knows? Something good could come from this
