My cup runneth over,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

indeed. (Actually)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It runneth all over<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

the floor I just cleaned.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Everything happens<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

for a reason, they say,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

and that thing that happened<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

was lost sanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Where there is a will,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

there might be a way, <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

but in this instance<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I’d rather Will stay away.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

God doesn’t give you<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

what you cannot handle,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

which is why tequila<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

wins over yoga and candles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

What doesn’t kill you,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

could make you stronger,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

but it could also drag <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

out your suffering longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

But who am I<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

to take a cliche,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

and make it all mopey,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

and darken the day?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

So I’ll wipe up the liquid<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I spilled on the floor,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

and pour myself wine<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

and see what else is in store.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
