Do you know what a survivor is? A survivor is like Humpty Dumpty sitting on a fence and along comes the rain in one direction. In another direction comes the hail, and yet, in another direction comes the tornado. From underneath comes the flood and he gets knocked down. But, instead of being an egg, Humpty reaches way down within and finds his super strength...which we all have He brushes himself off and he goes and finds a new fence which has a better view of life... Where the sun shines and where rainbows are everywhere upside down in the form of a smile... [This message has been edited by Enchantress (01-21-2006 06:46 PM).] |

This was well written. I thought of a fun comment about looking at the brighter side, poor humpty eventually did fall off his wall and in the same theory above he found good in it and turned him self into scrambled eggs to feed the kings horsemen because they were hungry.... Sacrifice for someone else is priceless. Big Hugs, Fee Expressions, |
