I'm in Anger

Dear People:
I am deep into anger today.
Agitation.
Irritation.
Confusion.
Betrayal Trauma.
WTF thoughts.
All of it.

I've been here, in Anger, since Monday.
However, this morning I am feeling somewhat empowered by it. 
I want to punch some people.
I want to yell and scream at some people.
I want to call the authorities on some people.
But, no.
I plan to take a walk, or two, in Anger while I am here.
Until I've seen all of the spots.
Until I've tasted the food and met with some of the locals.
Then, I'll travel on.

I'm not taking a detour around it.
I'm going through it.
Seeing the touristy spots.
I'll allow myself to be here until I feel like I can move to the next town.

While I am here, I call and check in with my village.
I talk to my kids.
I play, sing to, and dance to really LOUD music.
I make sure my local Coke Zero supplier sees me every morning like clockwork.
I listen to the birds singing outside my window, which is open to allow the fresh air in.
I meditate - angrily - since I'm in Anger... just seems appropriate.
I talk with God.
I plead with Him for peace and comfort because He knows I don't love the feelings of Anger... But I'm here anyways, so might as well get to know it a bit.

I no longer feel guilty about visiting Anger.
Or Sadness.
Or Hurt.
Or Fear.
Or Confusion.
Not anymore.
There's a spot for me in each.

I just try to make these short(er) trips...
I like Home.
Home, for me, is happiness, silliness, sassiness, fun, quiet, peace, comfort, laughter.

Hopefully, I'll be home soon.
For now, you can certainly call me.
I'll be in Anger for the forseeable future.
