There is nothing wrong with a Monday that a changed Point of View won’t adjust.
Topsy Turvy is just as good as Right Side Up, and has the additional virtue of Surprise.
Your Inner Rhino says, “Set aside Convention.”

Nautical Exploits
Rhinos are fine at wading, wallowing, and dipping ourselves in Water. A fine time for one and all. Hooray and Tee Hee.
But Rhinos are keenly sensitive to our own limitations, and merriment on the High Seas is one such limitation. A lesson learned by our ancestors, and kept alive in lore and legend. Sloshing to and fro, lurching and reeling at Neptune’s Whim.
We get Queasy. Which is a nice way of saying, “No, thank you.”
Humility Lessons
It often takes a while to learn that each unexpected Item a Rhino may encounter does not demand an Insightful Evaluation from that Rhino.
Most of the time, our energies are better spent casing the fields for a radish, or whatever. A case of Minding Our Own Business.
With time, We may even get over ourselves.
Ho-Hum
When selecting Attitudes from the Great Daily Menu, even Rhinos sometimes invest our energies in Boredom. It is as if We had become unplugged; a Big Disconnect.
Unlike other modalities, Boredom can be Habit Forming.
Beware, beware. That’s what We say.
Temperamental Alternatives
Rhino days are demanding, and nights too. Complex schedules, schemes and plans, dietary considerations… it can play havoc with one’s nerves.
Fortunately, Rhinos have Natural systems for keeping our Equilibrium (whatever that is) Equilibriated.
Rhinos can just shift from one mental state to another at will; We just set the dial to “Frivolity”, and start to cha-cha. See? All better, now.
Memories
Rhino Recall is a pretty random system. We remember this or that from Yesterday, and a Something or Two from the day before perhaps, but that’s about it. Today is generally demanding enough.
So, a week from now, We will have misplaced Today. In a week, how much difference will Today make? Mostly, not much.
Sort of comforting, yes?
Endurance Tests
There are occasions when a Rhino hears something so Stupid, or ill-Informed, or needlessly Unkind, that all one can do is Squint. Rational discussion would be wasted.
There seems to be a clear invitation to Argue, but the real Cosmic Test is to keep quiet and breath deep.
Rhinos are grateful for highly developed Squint Muscles. We need them.
Dishing it out
Rhinos like to remind our Friends that no Recipe, either culinary or social, is delightful for every palate.
Formulas have their limits.
Words to the Wise
Rhino-ness has some challenges, We have to admit. Not the least of those is how Insightful and Experienced We are, not only individually, but as a species. That’s how it seems to Us, certainly. One way or another, Rhinos just seem to always have the Answer.
Our Problem is that for some reason We can seldom find anybody who wants to ask the Questions.
Soup’s On
All Critters need to eat; that’s just a fact. Some eat plants, some eat other Critters, keeping things shipshape.
Nature’s system is elaborate, inconceivably so… still, Rhinos eat what We are assigned, and in turn, We will be eaten. It’s a cycle.
And all Critters die and nourish the earth that grows the plants. Mighty slick arrangement, if you ask Us. Everybody wins.
