A Salute

[pen_grunt]

I salute you.

To those having bad days today, a salute.

To those who have ever felt that stress was both holding them together and pulling them apart.

To those who have stayed up worrying at night.

To those who have ever cried in front of a boss, and then felt more frustrated by the tears than by the situation.

To those who have ever felt unimportant, incompetent or incomplete.

To those who get by deep breath by deep breath.

To those who are utterly frustrated when the google search "utter frustration" turns up only bad product reviews instead of camaraderie.

To those who get up every day and sometimes--just sometimes--don't really know why.

I salute you all.

Crying is okay. It's not stupid. It's not girlie. It's not immature.

Tomorrow will be better.

*deep breath*

*grins* No worries . . . tonight will be better; that's what cousins are for . . . providing booze!

Something must be in retrograde, because my flist is littered with "worst workday ever" posts. I'm so sorry you're having a shitty day. :(

As suspected, today is much better.

Moderate levels of "suck" but notsomuch the total "suck vortex" that was yesterday.
