ON THE BACK BURNER

I have a need to thank everyone who gives me affirmation of my worth. Some days, I need it because some days I just can't make that lemonade out of the lemons of life. I am envious of people who can find solace in prayer. My prayers are the kind that start off,"Dear God, Give me..". I guess that I am not all that reverent. Others can say"My faith sustains me." I question what faith has to do with it. And "it was meant to be". Of course it wasn't meant to be. You were not chosen to have cancer or a stroke. Life happens. It is what it is, is my favorite mantra. If we could pick and choose, I hope that I stand in the right line. Would that be as much fun as the challenge of waking up every morning to wondering what life has in store for me this day. I think that I would prefer to take my chances and just live the life I was dealt. Good marriage, good kids and Grandchildren ,good old and new friends. This is my life. What else is it supposed to be?
