Fawlty Showers

Acceptance

Fighting the things I had to accept had never turned out well. I made a list of things I was better off accepting and then moving on.

Life was unfair.  I could try to live an honest life, and not contribute to the unfairness.

Once I picked up the first drink, I had no control. I wondered how many people wished they had a problem where the treatment was not doing something completely unnecessary.  

Neither college I had attended fielded winning football teams. I waited for basketball season to follow their games.

The more people you loved the more funerals you attended. I reminded myself grief was the tax on love, and it was well worth it.

Cuffed, plaid, bell bottoms weren’t coming back. I decided not to give up hope.

Tomorrow wasn’t guaranteed. I needed to make the most of the day.

Today I will accept what I must.
