 eh . . . sometimes we search for things we should never see by now we can understand what we see isn't always what we think we see there are times when sit in solitude we dream of someone we can love share our life with life doesn't treat everyone the same by the same token we know we are the one who can make it better sometimes we do many times we don't people like to say life isn't fair "life" is, in my opinion, "you" so in all fairness when you say life isn't fair you're admitting failure at being "you" sure there are doors closed opportunities missed just don't make the mistake of blaming life man-up woman-up whatever-up shrug it off keep on keeping on I guess the message of this ditty if you ain't "got" it yet you are responsible for ninety-five percent of what happened to you learn to deal with the other five percent stop blaming what you think is life and start tending to your own knitting ©November 25, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton If they give you ruled paper write sideways. |

While I do not believe we are responsible for 95% of what may happen to us, I certainly believe we are 100% responsible for how we handle it. We ARE the result of our own choices. <--- am choosing to have a beer now.  Michael |

TO "My sad Men" enjoy your toast to each other. Life sometimes hits us on the head but as long as you both have fingers to hold that pen or hit those keys you are not as bad off as you may think you are. So many others do not know how to express their feelings. Would love to see those smiles. best, Jo |
