“You’re off to Great Places!<\/span>
Today is your day!<\/span>
Your mountain is waiting,<\/span>
So… get on your way!” – Dr Seuss<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you have a lot on the horizon (and some daunting changes), I offer you the following image and story:<\/p>\n

\"splash\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the end of the day yesterday, I decided to clear my head (only\u00a0temporarily worked) and ride a Citibike along the\u00a0East River in Manhattan. \u00a0On my return trip, I stopped to take a photo and, to both my surprise and horror, I got doused with East River water! \u00a0Holy Shirt! Must have been from a boat wake, but no matter where it came from, I have never wanted to touch nor be touched by the East River. \u00a0I shockingly did not run home (pedal) and grab rubbing alcohol, and a shower. \u00a0I sat on my bike and laughed (like a crazy person which may have been noted by other people who rode by, wondering if I was just really sweaty on one side of my body). \u00a0So far, my skin has not dissolved, I have not developed superpowers and my pancreas has not sprung back to life. \u00a0Bummer on 2 out of 3 of those.<\/p>\n

It’s really OK to be scared out of your fucking<\/a> mind sometimes (I wasn’t actually thinking my right side\u00a0would dissolve from East River water… well not after I survived the first minute… I’m talking about other stuff… you know, the splash is a metaphor and stuff). \u00a0In a totally bizarre way, sometimes it’s downright great to scared.<\/p>\n

I need to go TRY to climb a mountain now.<\/p>\n

Yes, quarter put into jar already.<\/p>\n

And my last thoughts for the morning, keep smiling, your enemies will absolutely hate it (and you can always go home and have a good cry later right?).<\/p>\n
