I just finished reading The Cow in the Parking Lot: A Zen Approach to Overcoming Anger. It was pretty good.

I need to read this kind of thing regularly - to keep it at the front of my mind - otherwise I slide right back into anger. I think I must be improving, though. This morning I wrote my son a really sarcastic text message. Then I didn't send it. Came here to complain instead.

Hope you feel better soon, hon.
