Where is the smile?

A sprinkle of rain is my smile today. I've cried more tears in my pityparty today than fell from the "Scattered Showers" that dripped through the sunshine into the open moonroof of my van. No reason, just the usual on-the-job stuff of day-to-day work.

Where's my "happy go lucky" attitude today? Where is my wish-craft? Even my fairy godmother wand is covered in spider webs.

Why? I am still working through the shift of energy from getting back into "normal" after finishing school, and all the craziness of the last paper, the last presentation, the last hurrah. Shifts of energy, shifts of job duties, shifts of perspectives.....

I'm in Deep Shift today!

A bad joke is better than none, and at least I feel better. Now back to the proverbial grindstone, and the stuff I left undone that awaited my return. Silly Me.

Thanks for the giggle, it comes in handy to be on the bright side, I'm sure you will meet your challenges and get on an even keel with that positive mental attitude. (PMA, for short)

Wish-craft only works if you are doing something good for yourself but the negative things are under the domain of the ditch-craft. The good must have the bad to rise above or else there's no measure for good.

Humor is the only weapon against the dark side.
