Spring Cleaning (For My Brain!)

By Lisa Harmon

Springtime! The time has come to clean up the clutter of useless stuff - to shake off all the junk and get ready to move on! I started with a mental inventory! I threw out all the junk in there I didn't need – all the anger and hostility and useless emotions that were doing me no good. They're out, and the positive energy can flow right in!

Some people don't say thank you. There's nothing I can do about that. I just let it go. I curse them under my breath, then just let it go.

 

Some people run stop signs, and drive right up to me while I'm crossing the street. What can I do? Nothing! I just go about my business. I wish them a slow painful death then I go about my business.

Some people are pushy and obnoxious and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I just move on. I wish a pox on their family and then I move on.

 

 

 

Some people are such reckless drivers. There's nothing I can do about it. I just move over one lane. I wish for a good fiery crash that ejects the driver, then I check my mirrors and move over one lane.

Some people will actually mouth off to me as if I give a flying fark what they have to say. What can I do? In one ear and out the other! Oh I flip them off and wish an anvil would fall on them, Wile E. Coyote style, but its in one ear and out the other.

 

Some people take the garlic and oregano and red pepper flakes to their table and don't bring them back. They're rude. What can you do? I let it go. I politely ask for the pepper flakes and as I walk back to my table, I imagine throwing it in their stupid beady little eyes. Then I let it go.

 

See, my anger is totally under control! I feel great! It is so good to move on. It is a positive step for me to put these things in perspective and keep on going. I feel like now, I'm a model of mental health and a totally chill person!

I'm ready to take on more responsibility now that I have my head together. Maybe now I'll be allowed to pick up the mail or use the coffee maker! Wish me luck everybody! I really think things are going to start coming together for me in 2013!
