Sunny Days Lie Ahead
March 31, 2005
Well, I'm completely burned out from work the last couple of days. Since returning to work after my mini-vacation I've been deluged with work, had a multitude of appointments to look at homes to buy, and generally have so many spring errands to run it's getting pretty draining. I am not the type to get emotional, but I received some bad news leading up to my vacation and last night after having a particularly drab meeting with a real estate developer I completely broke down and lost it, crying uncontrollably. I am not ashamed or too caught up in my "manhood" to admit it. I just couldn't help it. Everything seemed to be caving in around me and I had nobody to talk to about it.
After feeling bad for myself for a few minutes and finally drying my eyes, I ended up going to the gym and riding a stationary bike for an hour. I came home feeling a lot better, not perfect, but definitely better.
Today I've listened to Bob Marley all day which usually helps cheer me up. Here's one of my favorites.
Don’t worry about a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’: don’t worry about a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right!
Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, this is my message to you-ou-ou:
Singin’: don’t worry ’bout a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’: don’t worry ’bout a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right!
