Thor's Thought: Taxes

Today is Thursday... named after the Norse god Thor. He's the god of strength and thunder, and protector against forces of evil.

The evil we faced this week was the USA's wonderful (tongue in cheek) tax season. Yesterday, our income tax filings were due. Whether we owed, or got a refund, it had to be postmarked by midnight on April 15th or else. And that or else isn't pretty.

So the evil of money and tax collectors reared its ugly head this week and we stressed and, alternatively, chilled. We drew deep breaths and calmed ourselves. We live in a land where the government, yes, mis-spends and over-taxes the poor, but we could move if we choose. We decided to stay, so we must pay.

That is done.

What evil are YOU facing? What words do you speak to yourself for the strength to face that evil? Please write your thoughts as a comment.
