I'm grounded

trickykittyYou know, when I got in trouble as a child, my parents might give me a spanking, send me to my room, make me write sentences or do times tables, sit me down for a 2 hour lecture, or make me put my nose in the corner.
But what I hated more than anything in the world was being grounded.
It's interesting how as an adult, though, being "grounded" without my head in the clouds and my brain wandering aimlessly in my imaginations actually helps to free me so that I can wander happily in life.
The more I let go and stop trying to control the world around me, the more grounded and at ease I become, and my energy and happiness shoots through the roof.
Even if I'm still in the dog house.
I mean really - have you ever tried staying angry at a child that won't stop laughing? If you're a decent person, it just can't be done.
