May: The promise of calm Quick post this week as I prepare to travel. I saw the movie The Upside of Anger with Joan Allen and Kevin Costner on DVD. If you do read deeper into this journal, you'll discover that replacing a tendency to get angry with being exuberant with life was a path I followed to better health. A stunning line near the end of this movie by a teenage girl about the upside once the flame of anger is extinguished is that the feeling you are left with has "the promise of calm."  ¶ 9:07 AM
