We make do....

Isn't it funny,

how we "make-do" when things aren't quite right?

Sometimes....I don't even know what is

wrong...what doesn't fit....

what is slightly askew....

But I move toward making it right

by sticking a wedge in...

propping up a corner....

bring out the

WD-40...

or the

Duct-Tape...

or the

Perma-Bond...

or the...

Coffee....

yep, that's right

Coffee...

along about

3:56 pm

my mind clicks on to

COFFEE!!

It may not be the answer to the

health care crisis...

world peace...

education reform...

or

a flat tire....

but it props me

up for just

a

little

while...

so that I can make it

to

bedtime.

Perspective......

I require perspective.

AND

I simply cannot acquire it in a vacuum.

I have limited ability to see my world in a realistic manner.

I have to go out into the world and see other lives.

See what they deal with....

See how they cope....

See how blessed I am by comparison.

I know that we should not compare ourselves to others...

However, as selfish as this is, it is the only way I can

come to a realization of how fortunate I am.

Yesterday.....

I was given the gift of perspective.

I went about my everyday duties.....

and there it was.

My life ROCKS,

by comparison.

I have no problems,

in reality.

When I sit at home and worry.....

I get a distorted view of my life.

Did I thank you for your kind words?

They helped, thank you.
