A HOT MESS

You wake up and the first thing you see is your hair ‘all over your head’ as they say in the southern U.S. when they comment on what the rest of us call a ‘bad hair day’. And so it begins…

For some mysterious reason, many days that start out late or with some sort of shaky start, run the risk of being dangerous to your health and well being for the duration.

From this vantage point, you might even start to think that today’s small blips and potholes are the story of your life, instead of a few small incidents along a long and relatively happy journey.

Most of us actually know that many of the temporary problems in front of us at a particular time, aren’t really that hard to change. You can always fix your hair, change your clothes, take better care of yourself and, finally get some long overdue sleep.

Until you are ready however, you won’t change your own perception of yourself and all the things you think make you less than some mythical ‘perfect’ person you have conjured up to compare yourself to.

Only you can climb out of the rut most of us, at one time or another, so easily jump down into. The sooner we take steps to do it, the sooner we lighten up and quit senselessly and needlessly trying to lift and carry far more than we either want or need to.


Climbing back out of one’s personal rut, requires that we change our perceptions about ourselves, and usually also those around us. The sooner we do so however, the sooner we can turn the day, the week, the month and probably the rest of our lives around.
