LIGHTEN UP!

I woke up this morning thinking, for whatever reason—I can’t explain why—that I should lighten up. I’m way too serious to the point of annoying even myself. But, although I’ve tried in the past, I’ve honestly never been able to.

Some people have told me my serious nature is a function of my astrological sign. "Oh, you’re a perfect Capricorn!" No matter what the reason for it, I suppose I’m stuck with being who I am—which is for the most part quite okay with me.

Many times I have wished I could be one of those jovial types who remembers jokes and can come out with one at the drop of a hat. Instead, I am a thin body type (Vata-Pitta they call me in Ayurvedic terms). I have a quick, nervous metabolism and I’m just plain, serious!

It is what it is. I yam what I yam!
