Work Through The Blues

A touch of a cold

Sneezing and coughing

Things aren't going well

Your family is not getting along

Each person mad at the other

A recent break up

A good friend let you down

A few bangs, bruises, burns and cuts in work

What could possibly happen next ?

I know

You can feel better

Put all this behind you and time to change tracks

The route you were going wasn't ending up in at a good destination

We have to evaluate our life

When things aren't working in our favor

Time to make things better

I know what your thinking

You don't know what I have been through

Your right but you also don't know what I have been through

All this really doesn't make your life any better

It is time to find new happiness inside

Then before you know it

You will start to wake up from this bad dream

Some would even say the worst nightmare

Your stomach is doing flip flops

You feel like you are have to throw and go

Taxes went up

It is raining

Your favorite team lost

Can anything

Anything at all go right

Not getting along with your boss in work

A lovers quarrel

Sprain an ankle

Have the start of a stye in the eye

Conjunctive itis

You know longer see eye to eye

You need a break

A vacation

Lets start with mental relaxation

I am famous for putting each problem on an index card

Then putting them on a tack board

Throwing darts at them

See how many holes I can put in each one

The object is to destroy each card

So I can't even make out the problem

Totally unreadable

Now I physically found a way to destroy my problems

One by one

I know what you are going to say again

My problem is still there

Nothing has changed

I beg to differ

You have taken a problem in your head

Made it physical and you are starting to deal with

Taking control

Releasing those angry feelings

Turning your energies to a more productive activity

Leaving the helplessness

I know you hoped I would say

Close your eyes and your problem solved

I wish it was that easy

We first have to have a plan

In time we can tackle each problem

Feeling better would be a sixty yard gain

Give it a try

The worst that can happen is that you are slightly feeling better

The best thing that can happen is that your headache is gone

The tears in your eyes have dried

Your not feeling crazy any more

You are not a magnet to bad luck

You can survive this

Better than that

You don't have to make a run for it

Together side by side

We are working on a new solution

I know you jammed your finger

I stubbed my toe

So

We can keep adding to our tack board

Now it is time

Sore back and all

Computer on the fritz

No matter what the problem

We have to be in a position to act

This isn't a mirage

You lost power

Your car won't start

Your bills our late

These are more things that add to your mess

Darn

I just dropped my phone

Could this day get any better

The answer is yes

You got fired from your job

I heard you quit your job

You burned your lip on the last sip of hot coffee

You have no more clothes left

I got into a car accident and I have to get my car fixed

My insurance rates our going up

is there anything else ?

A leaky faucet

Let me have it now

A flat tire

Been there done that

So many things can and do happen

All we can do is work through them

Alone or together

Sometimes we get an easy fix

Other times things work themselves out with know help at all

More often than not

We have to take small steps

Oh geeze, ugh, oh,

I'm so sorry to hear that

Wow

Really

We all have hit low points in our life

Now it is time to feel better

One day at a time
