Chapter 2479 The Unexpected Gift:>9
- Temper... Temper...:
- I will be the first to admit I have a bit of temper. Now I have learned to keep it in check, especially at school. But when something gets under my skin, like my sister using my phone on our mother, well there is hell to pay.
- I decided to try and work through my anger without resorting to something drastic. So I went up to my bedroom, closed the door and sat down on the floor. I placed my back against the foot of the bed and closed my eyes. The only thing I ever got out of my gym teacher was how to focus myself and meditate. Despite my anti-athletic mentality, I did have a talent for throwing a baseball. My best pitch had been clocked at over eighty miles an hour. But my accuracy sucked, so coach taught me how to visualize my target and how to calm myself before I got on the mound. So there I was on the floor trying to see myself forgiving my sister for using the phone, terrible idea. All it did was piss me off even more, so I went for just calming myself down. I cleared my thoughts and did belly breathing to push out all the negative emotions. I breathed in though my nose filling my belly with air and then breathed out from my mouth. I visualized a cloud of black smoke coming from my mouth as the bad emotions fled my body. As I did this I could hear a bird flapping its wings nearby. Then I could make out the scent of the evergreen tree just outside my window. More sounds and smells reached me as I meditated. Then I heard the soft foot falls heading in my direction, my door opened and I could hear her as she slipped in quietly. I could smell the mixture of vanilla and baby powder as she approached.
