And today we witness another battle between good and bad in the never ending saga and continuing fight for Carmen’s soul and happiness.

In the ring, as of this morning, we have Captain Low-Self-Esteem, teamed up with Doctor Fear and Mr. Doubt in the right corner. In the left corner we have Little Ms. Sunshine, Supergirl and Lady Optimistic.

Round 1: Captain LSE throws a left hook to Little Ms. Sunshine, temporarily dazing her. But wait, Supergirl steps into the arena and deals a right cross to Doctor Fear, who goes down like a sack of hot potatoes. Meanwhile, Lady Optimistic snuck up from the back and knocks out Mr. Doubt with a combo of left cross, right hook and a roundhouse to the head.

Lights out for Mr. Doubt. Mr. LSE, now outnumbered, turns around and runs as fast as he can. And for today, the winners are Little Ms. Sunshine, Supergirl and Lady Optimistic. The fight for C.H.’s soul and happiness was won for today and she shall live another day, feeling worthy, happy, strong, unafraid and optimistic.

One day at a time. And tomorrow, when/if these sons of bitches show up again, I’ll knock their ass down again; until they finally realize, there is no fight to be won here. No trophy to be attained and no arena or audience for their dirty fights, filthy mouths and crazy voices. Happiness, it’s a fight and I’m doing it right.
