I don't want to call Forrest Gump's mama a liar, so let's just say she was confused
life is NOT at all like a box of chocolates
unless she meant life would leave me feeling bitten in 1/2, chewed up & spit out
if that was her intention - she was spot on.
More times than I can count, we'll be plugging along one day, just fine and WHAM!
something scary or painful or both comes along and stinks up our happy place.
where I come from, our chocolate doesn't kick you in the face
as hard as it may be, I keep remembering ..
Well said. I've been dealing with a few things around here that I thought were pretty bad and then our friends had all that news about their son last week and I realized just how lucky I was...my stuff was nothing compared to theirs. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your prayers for little Luke and his family. They need it.
ReplyDeleteI'll say a little prayer that the stresses in your life get better...S.
