Howdy all -
Interesting view today. a study in watercolors. A man sitting outside the back of his house. Early in the morning, having coffee and watching the sun come up. Thinking (which can be a bad thing for a drunk by himself) of the day to come and obligations to meet. There is something different about this picture from one that one could see in one's minds eye from years ago.
No cans and bottles to pick up. No hangover. No pissed off spouse. Not having to figure out what one did and who needs a lie to unruffle feathers. Who to aviod for a few weeks till the anger fades.
All those things described me just a handful of years back.
The drunken tornado.
Glibly spinning through life, destroying everything in my path.
Dodging consequences and responsibility.
I like today's picture better. It makes me smile inside. Today I can do that. Smile inside. I wasn't able to a while back.
Smiling is a good thing for this drunk. It would be good for you too...
Nuff said,
Dennis
