Life's too short to........
 

There are days when I just ned to remember what is important and what is not; What is worth my time and what is a waste of energy; What to be upset about and what to let go of.

Today's list is:

1. .....control the world. What I control is defined my the small circle I can draw on the ground around my feet and not much more, but what I influence has a broader reach.
   
2. ....Be angry. Anger takes a lot of energy and I'd rather be doing something wonderful with that energy.
   
3. ....Worry about others' karma. There may be a "karma police" but I'm not on the force and I don't want the job. My evil sister may or may not have "gotten hers" but it's not my job to find out or even care. (See #2)
   
4. .....Stay home. Traveling is one of the finest joys in life. Adventure is tantamount to great sex. :))
   

:snap:

Please, add you're own "shortisms".

...spend the afternoon in a building with no windows on such a beautiful day - especially when you've been coming in sick all week.

...to worry about what will kill ultimately kill you at the expense of what you'll enjoy.
...to watch Pauly Shore movies
...to spend 200 years watching a turtle die more slowly than you.

to worry about what might happen, you don't know, go with the flow and live

to live a life without music

to not smile and laugh at least 10 times a day, every day is a day to be joyful for

...to procrastinate. About anything.

Living in that ugly headspace which is deceptively comfortable
covered in cushions and surrounded by corn chips
there's even a dvr and a huge 'net pipe
but the stereo system is always blasting
bass fuzzes out and the tweets hurt your ears
screaming YOU NEED TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH
THE PASTA POT STILL HAS PESTO IN IT
WHEN DID YOU LAST CREATE SOMETHING
OR CALL YOUR LONG LOST BEST FRIEND
WHAT ABOUT THAT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
GET OUTSIDE AND BREATHE

choosing procrastination is a dumb mistake I make every day




I tried to write the preceding as a post but could not. Sometimes verse is the only way out of my head. Thanks for the small spark NA :)

I want the last 8 seconds back.

... tell your kids, "No I can't play with you, I've got to do XYZ"

... I want to start over.
