It's a wonder I didn't blow a gasket today ...

From the time I got out of bed this morning, today sucked. I just felt  bad. In a bad mood. Really bad. All day long. And I don't think I'm being negative, really -- just telling the truth.

I did my positive-thinking affirmations, and my little prayer,  several times  today -- closed  my eyes once, took a few deep breaths, said my prayer --  but it never got any better. One of the positive  thinking messages  I got on my Facebook was something like, "Every day is a gift, even if it sucks." So it's OK. Today sucked, and tomorrow will be  better. I feel a lot more relaxed now that I'm home.

The news item that caught my eye this morning was about a blind high school pole vaulter, Charlotte Brown, of Emory, Texas, a junior and one of the state's top vaulters, who is gunning for a state championship. Brown, who also runs the anchor leg for her team in the 4-by-400 meter relay, uses beeper  devices  to help her in the pole vault. To somehow find where to plant that pole, and fly 12 feet in the air, as she speeds down the approach run.

Pole vaulting?

Amazing.

On a high note locally, one of my publishers, Matt Stone, says the paperback re-release of "Finding God in Texas" is coming soon. Some production snag has pushed it back a bit, but the new Kindle release is available now!  click here Before long, there will be some outstanding promotional offers for both, so be ready and help support me and the  cool  people at Archangel Ink. Please and thank you.

So, it's on to brighter days. For one thing, there now are 22 school days left in the year. As one colleague put it, at the lunch break, "Next Monday, it will be in the teens!"

Enough said.

Ciao,  y'all ...

A few reviews of John's books

The 30-Day Optimism Solution: 
“I just re-read this book for the third time. I have read several books by John Clark and this book, by far, is my favorite. So much of our everyday lives are impacted by how we think about it. We have the power to choose but so many times we choose the easy wrong versus the slightly more difficult right. John may feel this book helped him more than it might help me but I think the positive impacting, even in the slightest, of another person's life is a great gift. I am so pleased for John's journey of discovery and awareness, moreover I am pleased to have this book in my possession. I am excited to recommend this book to several people I know.”

“This was the right book at the right time for me. I have been struggling with some things, and Clark offers some wonderful information on how to turn things around, not to mention describing his own struggles with negativity. I think this book is going to help a lot of people.” –

Depression Blues:         
“Part memoir, part informative text. You get both when reading 'Depression Blues' by John H. Clark III. Mr. Clark shares his struggles with depression in an honest and real way, and as the book progresses, so does his hope. Woven into the story as jumping off points are bits of information about depression and ways to "conquer" the sadness, loneliness, and despair that comes with it.

Mr. Clark becomes more than an author in this book; he becomes a friend who understands the pain of depression and provides light. I recommend this book to anyone looking for light or to anyone who knows someone with depression and wants to learn more.”
