How to Avoid Being Skeptical

In five easy steps.

First: Pray, because
Praying assumes there’s
Someone out there who’s
Got your back -- and She
Most likely has more 
Control, more power,
More idea WTF is 
Happening, and it 
Means someone has
Got to be listening.

Next: take sips out
Of life -- that way
The glass will 
Always be half full
And your belly less so.

Third: Either go for
A walk or take a nap.
Sometimes you’ll
Want to take a 
Nap but what you 
Really need is a walk --
And vice versa.

Four: When anxious
Or feeling screamy,
Just add water via
Splash or gulp. This
Was advice I got from 
A mother about children,
But it works on 
Former children too.

Last: eat art and music
And poetry as if
You are starving
All the time.
