Uh oh…
A last minute glitch is causing an out of whack condition.
How do I restore thee?
Out of kilter.
Gosh, that blow came unexpectedly.
Sleep it off.
Ok so it’s the day after.
Feeling better.
Restoring my grip.
This is important.
Gotta get back in shape.
I can do this!

Your benefit is mine too. It shifts back and forth.

So shall you bloom with each embrace.
This is what I meant...

Stop reading if you've read this before. Sometimes people hear some facts and fill in the rest, creating a negative narrative.
Heard of that before?
I have. I frequently follow this model.
Let's take a day at random, say, today, because I can easily remember what's...

Throughout the years, life presents us with many hurdles to overcome. I am sure everyone has encountered something that has pushed their buttons so hard to make them mega upset and discouraged that they just want to throw in the towel, bag it, chuck it all, yell hasta la vista, baby … well, you get...

It had to be Batman, always, when I was little. I didn't know why. I didn't have a cape or a costume but I tied my coat round my shoulders and ran round the playground chasing this boy I liked, I was five. Yes, I said, we'd play Batman, I'd be Robin, no problem, so that's what we did. He didn't...
