As You Want To Be

I’ve spent the better part of the day nursing a sore back and sinus issues. With ice, heat, Tylenol, and a deep tissue massager I worked for a while on both issues with some relief. But after my mid-morning nap, my back pain came back with a vengeance. So now I’m spending my afternoon back in the office sitting up doing my damnest not to sneeze.

Looking out the window with the sun heating up the frontside of the apartment building, I don’t envy those on the other side having to put up with the afternoon sun. From the one bedroom we have that faces the afternoon side, that room is always much warmer than the rest. Thus keeping our cooling bills up. So far I haven’t found a comfortable way to sit. But it beats laying in bed pumped up with meds drooling out the side of my mouth.

I’ve never claimed to be the most inspiring writer you’ve ever read. But I’m probably one of the most honest. I’m not one to tell you life always brings a little rain, especially when its someone or something doing all the pissing. My outer crust is rock hard while my innards are as squishy as my belly. I ain’t going to claim to be something I’m not anymore. My favorite subject to speak of is myself, because it’s what I know best. I ain’t going to preach at you either, cause I’d only end up preaching at myself. And who does that?

So I’ll waste whatever valuable braincells you and I have given to say. Be respectful with what peace you have left. Don’t waste your time focused on the bad, no matter how much it hurts. Instead focus on clearing up the pain you’re causing yourself. Instead of pointing out the faults in everyone else. I know I said I wasn’t going to be preachy. But damn it’s often necessary to preach at yourself to get the point across. So do what you can to better yourself and always treat others just as you want to be treated.
