Positive Attitude. Positive Attitude, Positive Attitude

i think i need to back off the negative attitude and re-board the happy train...at least for the next two weeks. then i am back to snyde and cynical! but at least until the 12th of May, which cannot come fast enough at this point. i guess i have to admit it was Oprah that really made me think (computers everywhere are smashing to the ground over that last statement) that i have a really good life, minus the office mumbo-jumbo. i was watching a tivo'd oprah about the genocide in Darfur, and the violence against the children and villagers, and the atrosities i have never seen, let alone ever imagined facing...and it hit me...

shut the fuck up and stop whining chels...you are not being saught out for slaughter, your child is safely riding his bike outside in the gorgeous sunshine without fear of being burned, beaten or turned into a slave or soldier, you are living in a country where you have the option to voice an opinion without the reprocussion being fatal, you are healthy from good food and clean water...etc etc etc...so my friends i digress...i am going to be great regardless of this work stress...and if this all blows up in my face...i will be great in whatever i decide to do after that!

damn you oprah, you crazy self righteous hag, and you Lisa Ling, for that indepth reporting...i was ok wallowing in my muck...now i have to be all realistic about other peoples struggles and the ease i really have in my day to day life.

happy thursday friends.
