Yo. It’s me and you wouldn’t believe the crap that I carry around in my head. You see I rapped this morning. Take a listen. “A man thinks it’s his world, but I know better because I noticed how he responded when he saw me wrapped in saran wrap. I hold power, I choose, I say when, and he knows too.”
Check out “The Notorious J.B.’s The B.I.G. Payback.” It’s the bomb, especially with the volume high. I love hip hop with a little hot—my god. I’m jamming like, why not.
These are my thoughts. I passed a group of maybe eight workers, men, with a dolly trying to move an oversized object, with no success. As I passed, I knew better, but said it anyway, “You guys need some help?” some said no, others rolled their eyes while some laughed.” Power baby, power followed by my signature laugh, you know, the one you heard over the years in the room. Then I froze, thinking about what they must have felt. Anyway, on a more serious note, I am grateful that I have a sense of humor on some days when most days I cannot laugh at the silliness.
The reading claims, “By accepting life as it is, I gain serenity. By taking action, I gain courage, and I thank God for the ability to distinguish between those situations I can work on and those I must turn over.” I can always work on having more fun, clean belly-laughing fun. I cannot remember the last time that I laughed and danced so hard while walking, and it’s possible to multi-task because I succeed while smiling too. People probably said, “There she is again, carrying that heavy load of a backpack and fanny pack, bopping, like she has no worries in the world.
It’s Friday, and last night I listened to the Eulogy for Congressman John Lewis—so powerful—so moving. I am grateful that I get another day. If I cannot find a little purpose in life, it will seem that life isn’t worth living. And that my friend, is not the case, because Alcoholics Anonymous is the easier softer way, for all seasons, for me, and for anyone that wants to pick up the tools and live life today as if there will be no tomorrow.
