...Nice Try

OKay, I gave it a good old college try, but I'm going to have to take drastic measures! I'm going to give you to recipe for pushing to blues away. Now before I do, please remember that you have to only use this in an emergency. This can not be done too often. I'm not sure of the effects, but I suspect you begin to morph and we would not want that to happen. So here goes. When you are feeling low (and I got this part from Bing Crosby) count your blessings instead of sheep. Sit in the middle of your bed. Turn on the stupidest (yet funniest) cartoons ever because they never have real-human-sucky-problems. Apply one decadent chocolate bar to mouth, chew and swallow. Now here is the kicker. Halfway through the cartoon, lay down while still eating the bar and rest your eyes during the commercial! This always works! GARR-RUN-TEED!

Granted, you will have to brush your teeth extra well in the morning and you may have to change your pillow case. And there is no cure for "Wile E. Coyote, Genius" chasing you in your sleep, but you'll wake up feeling like a million bucks! Promise :)

You Will Be Happy, Whether You Like It or Not!

It's not your turn today.
I know you want in,
its just not your turn.
I will not answer the door.
You can not come in.
I'm going to let joy have a chance today,
if I have to hunt it down and
take it's knees out.
It will stop and see me on this day.
Kicking or screaming, I'm holding on.
You, however, will not be the one.
If I have to pray you away
dance you into another time,
I just will.
Get lost in little soilders and toy cars,
fixing dinner and singing praise
I just will.
Doing dishes and folding sheets.
Taking notes and ironing socks.
I just will.
Whatever I have to do,
you knock on some other door.
Go where you are welcome,
you have no place here.
