Once in a while
I get fed up
with being positive
I get blinded by the bright side
and hanker for some darkness.
A place to complain
about how hard life is
how unfair and random,
how behind every smile
is a wall of hurt and pain.
Sometimes I wish
we could live in honesty
and I could let me inner curmudgeon out to play
not just a bitch session
more a reality check
on how out of control life is.
It feels good
to take a deep breath
and let loose
with a gimlet-eye view of reality
and then get on with the day,
nice or not.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
