Diary of an Ex-Employee - Day 62.1

Isn't it great when a day turns around?

You start the morning with a tired feeling, bad news and that awful fear that can feel like a vice grip around the heart, but then you decide to do just one thing.

Just one thing.

And so off I went to yoga.

I am not into tree hugging hippie crap in general, but there is something about yoga. It may be a spiritual thing. It may be the connection between mind and body. It may be a simple as you putting your body into unnatural, new positions which then frees your mind to see thing from another perspective. Hell, it may even be magic.

Whatever it is... it works for me. I came out of a class feeling more balanced, calmer and ready to tackle the things I have to take on today.

There was an ever so slight dip at the coffee shop - to be described in more detail in the next post - but then I got my coffee fix and all was well with the world again.

And then I had a radio moment in the car. You know the ones I mean. Just the right song comes on the radio at just the right time. And they are speaking to you, Man.

This time it was Howard Jones and "Life in One Day"

The old man said to me

Said don't always take life so seriously

Play the flute

And dance

and sing your song

Try and enjoy the here and now

The future will take care of itself somehow

The grass is never greener over there

Time will wear away the stone

Gets the hereditary bone

Chorus

Don't try to live your life in one day

Don't go speed your time away

Don't try to live your life in one day

Don't go speed your time away

I choose not to try to interpret the "hereditary bone" bit.

Anyway, the point is, life feels OK again.

And now I'm going to apply for a cool looking job I found advertised yesterday.
