A FLOOD OF POSITIVE INSIGHTS STRENGTHENS RESILIENCE

So Ravi, who has two grammas, spent today with Nani (Celina's mom)
Freeing me to rest and write

And write I did—that positively focused train of thought promised
Several days back

So having had time to accomplish that goal, why do I feel frustrated?
Because someone deleted the whole thing right before I went to bed

As to who mightt have done such a naughty old thing?  Yep—
Thing One and Thing Two must have leaped right out of my head

So now whenever something really frustrating jars my peace of mind
I’ll be smart as a fox as to who pulled the lid off of my Pandora’s box

Then, I’ll thank goodness for Dr. Seuss, who wrote charming rhyming
Stories to remind us that most everything works out well in the end ...

So let’s remember that positive focus fortifies resilience  (though while
Resilience is still strengthening, most of me really wants to say—Grrrr)

As to my having deleted today’s train of thought, I know not to be too hard
On myself since things go awry whenever Thing 1 and Thing 2 fly free

So now that I’ve heeded intuition’s suggestion to calmly expect Thing One and
Thing Two to create bedlam, now and again, my grrr is gone, and I feel fine

And with this train of thought exemplifing a self disciplined mind clicking
In during each gust of mental mayhem, please expect more of the same—Why?

So you’ll catch hold of strings of insight lining up inside my head whenever
Mayhem attempts to make a mess of things before I go to bed, suggesting that

Stories penned will illustrate my well developed line of control disciplining
My brain to focus its energy upon solving rather than whining and wailing

So if you ask why Thing One and Thing Two sometimes fester deep within
My head, I’ll reply:  They’re emotional kinks left over from childhood that

Resurface (sans rhyming on purpose) to pester my peace of mind with hazy
Feelings of frustration, which once came close to driving my intelligence crazy

So thank goodness, my brain has been retrained to seek out positively focused
Insights whenever a hazy sense of mental mayhem calls forth natural feelings of

Frustration in need of subsiding by relying upon a positive attitude to mollify
Vexation, thus rescuing intuitive organization from collapsing like a house of cards

So—whenever Thing 1 and Thing 2 cut loose, you’ll see me rely upon a flood of
Positivity surging through my frontal lobe, calming gerbil-like activity, ASAP

And thank goodness for that change in reaction, because had I not consciously
Rewired my brain activity, ‘close to crazy’ would have closed in on crazy by now
