There’s something in the air. The universe is conducting a test, I’m sure of it. The bad juju has been hanging around for months now and it’s wearing people down. It’s a test I tell you. A test to see what we’re made of.
I’ve seen others struggling through sad or difficult events. I’ve heard “what else can possibly go wrong?” after a landslide of misfortune. The synchronicity of these unfortunate happenings between unrelated people is just too remarkable.
One of my challenges is a nagging, free-floating anxiety. A nervousness about I-don’t-know-what. It could be waning hormones or other wonky chemicals. Or maybe I have some deep, dark conflict hiding in the recesses of my mind manifesting itself with sweaty palms and quickened breath.
I haven’t figured out what’s going on with the universe or why its nasty pranks are affecting me the way they are, but whenever I’m feeling especially anxious my brain clicks into the Mel Brooks channel and I get this song in my head. It sticks there for a while too.
It could be worse. I mean, if you’re suffering from high anxiety why wouldn’t you want a sassy song like that playing in your mind? It takes the edge off a little.
How is the universe treating you lately?

Jeepers, Sara, that clip was terrific!
😀 I love this movie, and words like “jeepers” makes it that much better. Thanks Lorna!
I should have commented on your post about your concerns for the state of the world, but the clip just made me so happy…
I treasure any comment you have, especially if it comes from happiness. If Mel Brooks doesn’t bring a smile to your face, nothing will. 🙂
True that!
I only tend to believe in horoscopes when they say what I want to hear, but according to someone who pays more attention to it than I do, there have been several planets misaligned for the last few years, wreaking havoc on people with my sign (Virgo) and several others. That is supposed to all change – for the better – very soon. That is what I want to hear, so I believe!
I don’t know anything about astrology and for that reason I can’t discount it. If what you say is true (and I hope it is) things could be turning around for lots of us. Thanks for the ray of hope Cindy!
