"Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you."-Mary Tyler Moore
Today I shall be brave! I will be brave enough to attempt to lift my heavy head from my pillow that smells like a bar stool and assess the damage from last night's New Year's Eve wine and Xanax cocktail. From my bed, things don't look too bad, there is only one bottle of lube lying next to me and it is missing a lid. I am assuming I rang in the new year while my husband rang me out like a dinner bell on a cattle ranch. I will rise and greet the new day of the new year! I will embrace my children and apologize for any slurred bits of advice I may or may not have handed out the night before.
I am brave. I've had more than my share of wonderful things and I've put myself through more inconveniences than I deserved. Today is my day! I feel as though I can do anything. I can and will remove all bottles of wine and beer, quietly and before anyone else is awake, so they can not quantify my accomplishments from last night. Funny, I don't remember drinking beer. Maybe I do.
I will make the new year my bitch, and then make breakfast for everyone. Yes, this requires courage, determination and most of all, positive thinking and appropriate ingredients for pancakes and Hoppin John.
