I've posted this poem before, but it's one of my favorites so I'm going to post it again -- the perfect pick-me-up after picking up my Sophie from yet another seizure and trying my best to look on the bright side. This is how we do it, folks. I particularly like the last line.
Success Story
My clothes are perfectly contoured
to my body. my shoes & socks
fit just right. My cat is a delightful
intelligent animal. My apartment
is great. The right location,
cheap rent. I eat the best food.
My friends love me. I adore them.
My lover is terrific & beautiful.
The sun is shining. There are trees
even in the slums in Washington.
I have tons of money & a gorgeous
air conditioner. Great art hangs
on my wall. I live a spine-tingling life
of delirious sex & intense happiness.
-- Terence Winch
I live that life! Every day!

ReplyDeleteAhhh, lovely. I'm just going to close my eyes and imagine for a bit. Thanks for the sweet interlude.
ReplyDeleteI like to sing the song by Monty Python when I feel in the dumper...Always look on the bright side of life.
ReplyDeleteWe do and think what helps don't we...
It sounds like one of those ridiculous affirmations which makes it funny as hell.
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Sometimes.
