Rhinos do make mistakes, and not all of them can get patched up. Sometimes We feel victimized. Sometimes it just feels like We are embroiled over a misunderstanding.
Anyhow, Regrets are a sticky business. We apologize, but there is often a bad aftertaste. We feel wronged.
All a Rhino can do is press on, and hope Bad Feelings will fade, the sooner the better. For everyone concerned.
In 1766 Charles Macintosh was born in Scotland. He was a successful chemist and inventor, and in 1824 came up with a system for sealing rubber between 2 layers of fabric, making it waterproof. The fabric was used to make a range of coats and hats to protect people from the rain.
Rhinos always see this raincoat business as odd, since anybody could just go out naked. Nature has provided a waterproof skin already. Easy-peasy.
It’s sort of delightful how We can all can come up with Reasons for inexplicable decisions, right?
Inside each Rhino there is a jolly Self, making its way to the jolly Solution. Just what might need Solving is not always clear, but We feel that, all in all, We are on Track.
We think Positive (assuming We are thinking at all).
Our Inner Rhino is like a GPS for Good Times.
Sometimes Rhinos will sense that We are coming apart at the seams. Not so much physically as mentally. The Stresses associated with Santa, Dietary Indulgences, one Festive Hootenanny after another form a cumulative Pressure.
What can a Rhino do about it?
Hold on. Maybe take a nap. In a week or so, Normalcy will return from Vacation, and then We can complain about how dull things are.
‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’. You should not be surprised that Rhinos cannot count beyond 3, so that is all the verses We ever learn. Whatever the True Love gives above and beyond, We can’t recall.
After those hens, We just murmur “Tra la la”, and relax.
Rhinos have to allocate our energies in the face of Holiday Fervor.
Certainly holidays are grand in their way, but often that way involves a lot of sugar. Try as We Rhinos may, it is not easy to be Good in the face of SugarPressure.
Golly!
Also, Gee-Whiz!
And many Merry Moments!!
Very Best wishes from “Your Inner Rhino” today, just like every day.
Today We Rhinos sing the praises of Pfeffernusse, a small German-Danish-Dutch spice cookie, often dipped in powdered sugar. This is the official day for it, We are told.
Try them; you’ll like them. Sehr lecker!*
*very tasty. ‘Your Inner Rhino’, dealing with linguistic barriers.
Rhinos like to attend to matters ahead of time, on the occasions when We recall something is coming up.
Interviews are a big part of any Project which is going to involve Teamwork. You may think that one Partridge is like another, but they are high strung birds, unlike French Hens. Gotta be very Tactful with Partridges. You’d know that if you’d ever discussed Politics with one.
Things usually work out, eventually, but bring your Tact; you’ll need it.
Yes, yes, Your Inner Rhino is well aware that this year’s Ugly Christmas Sweater Day has come and gone. However, today’s post is provided so that you have a full year to get ready for the next UCS Day. When doing Ugly, don’t forget that a knowledge of knitting is barely necessary… extremely few Rhinos are skilled that way.
Our Readers are at liberty to improvise on this cunning design in a spiraling array of Variations.
2019 is on its way: Get Prepared.
