Control

I am learning a lot about special days of the year in 2016.  And on 3/30/16 (the 90th day of 2016), I learned it was National "I am In Control" Day.  This is because, on this date (albeit day #89) 35 years ago, Ronald Reagan was shot.  I remember I was in the Central Branch of the Philadelphia Free Library after school and, as my mom picked me up, she delivered the news to me.  Thankfully, the President survived but, while his condition was unknown, Secretary of State, Alexander Haig, uttered the famous words, "I am in control here!"  While I remember these events, I never knew it had spawned a day where people are urged to combat the out of control feeling.  I have to admit, lately, sometimes I have felt out of control about certain things, and I have not enjoyed it that much.  BUT, this day, I guess, is a reminder both that we should take action (when we can) to regain control where we can but, also, sometimes, we should try to accept that we cannot be in control of everything, all the time.  And, to assist me in celebrating this day, I am invoking the assistance of Janet Jackson. Sing it, Janet!
