Big Day of No

The day was done. There was a lot to it. Little parts, pieces of the puzzle, components. It was long and it was trying. It was interesting. But finally, it was over.

And I had a name for it. The Big Day of No.

I chortled a quick semi-sinister laugh and curled to fetal pulling the comforter with me in a single move. The Big Day of No. Now over.

On final tally, the no's were perfect, whitewashing the yea's 10-zip. The good guys got shutout.

As I tried to ignore the raccoons partying on the back deck, the flash cards whizzed by like an internal combustion coping machine. Dealing with rejection cards:

1) Don't take it personally.
2) Get off the canvas, jasper.
3) Redefine perfection.
4) Use it (rejection) don't loose it.
5) Who wrote this program?
6) No rejection, no growth,
7) This is essential to success.
8) Options are dynamic and subject to change.
9) Persistence and patience pay premiums, pal.
10) Don't sweat the small stuff.

That was yesterday. The Big Day of No.

Today has been better already.

Yes.
