Ahh, a mood I be in this very day, a Viking brood my mum used to say. Nothing has to be wrong or out of norm, the blackness becomes a pending thunderstorm. Cats all ran when I walked outside, my dogs slunk away to go and hide. Ages past, I would seek a fight, the berserker rages were then all right. So I attacked the yard with all my might, mowing and cleaning all in sight. Finally I stopped, all soaking wet, the brood all gone with the clinging sweat. The cats came out, rubbing against me, I played with them, leaning against a tree. The dogs ran up, jumping on the fence, seeing I had come to some half sense. Looking around I gave a gentle smile, knowing all was fine for a good long while. |

Glad you found a positive outlet. Doubtless good advice. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

It's hard to picture you enraged, Logan, but we're all human, right? A flowing and descriptive read. Thanks... -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Of course you would have a peaceful way to work out anger. This is good advice for us all. I like the way the cats came out to rub you, after. Sandra |
