CC Minus 527: Ratio of "Gotta Have a Drink Days"

Seems that the ratio of Gotta-Have-A-Drink vs. Hey-What-A-Great-Day is w-a-a-a-ay out of whack these days. Having broken my Lenten fast on numerous occasions this year -- that's the alcohol abstention one -- I've decided to turn a new leaf for the last 2 weeks. And whaaddya know, as soon as I resolve to do better, I have a lousy day.

The details will seem irrelevant at some point in my future, BUT the way I CHOSE to handle it might be significant. So am practicing some good advice that I might give others:

• don't let "The Man" control your mood and reactions
• don't react immediately (well, I did spurt forth a couple of F*** expletives at one points)
• DO try to find something good in all of this ..... hmmmm not there yet!
  
• DO take at least one action that is a positive reaction ...... hmmmm not there yet either!

Obviously this is a work in progress. I managed the "don'ts", just need to finish up on the "dos"
