Life distributes the ups and downs, the victories and defeats, the sunshine and the storms in typically equal fashion. And then some weeks, the news grows from dark to darker to darkest and try as we might we find ourselves more shaky than grounded. The darkness is overwhelming and our systems are overloaded. Those who care about us want to maintain normalcy and guide us away from the ledge. So-- we are instructed to above all else: remain calm.
Maybe. Maybe not. If ever there was a time to break out your crazy, I must advocate doing it now. It doesn't matter if your team lost or a business deal went awry. Your back deck collapsed. Your marriage collapsed. Your dad had a heart attack. Your mom was hospitalized again. You just saw your client give an interview to TMZ. You agreed to be in a wedding and you just saw the big reveal of the uglier-than-usual bridesmaids dresses. Your child tripped again and that bone was just beginning to heal. The concert you so wanted to attend is the same day as : fill in the blank with your kids' events.Your dog ate your homework and your laptop and your dinner. You forgot to pay the water bill. You lost a dear friend. Your favorite television show was cancelled. It is time to break out your crazy.
Let's go CRAZY !! Ever heard of Prince? Let's go crazy !! Calm? We'll show 'em calm ! Play those tunes loud and proud. Pop those tops and toast the honorees ! This one is for the cable guy! When life throw's you crazy, some times you have to return serve.
Fight back. It's hammer time. No youngsters, that doesn't mean a DIY project. Hammer time! Break out your favorite music and let it scream from your sound system. How about a little DEVO ? Whip It. Or....Watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Break out that soundtrack ! Let's do The Time Warp again !
And considering what you want to do...this IS calm. Carry on.
