A Moment

Ok, so I’m going to be talking in obscurities this time around. Sometimes life is full of too much baggage to go into the whole damn story. But just go with it, if you will (insert smiley face here). I’m in that kind of mood this evening, but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t try at some point to make you smile, even a little, because my goal at the end of this entry is to feel better, smile because that’s what someone pretty special taught me to do even when the crappiest of all days ascends upon me. Just a side note, this is not the crappiest of all days.  

I need to ask a question. Did anyone ever get so lost that no matter what road taken the end is never really reached, or you just don’t know what is going to be around the bend, or in what direction you started out in?   High, low, windy, bumpy, or even the good ol’detour none of them are actually destined to get you where you mean to head. Even though life is pretty wonderful there are moments when I slap my forehead and ask myself, ”how in the name of Good Conscience did it get to this point?”  Again, I must re-emphasize I am speaking in obscurities but I think most of you will pick up what I am putting down. I just don’t understand how I can be walking along minding my own business “doing nothing to nobody” and a big fat bird poops on my favorite shirt and, to make matters worse, that bird had purple berries for lunch. I mean, really? What did I ever do to that damn bird? Did I eat bird soup in a past life? Did I chop down the tree he lived in? Did I step on the worm he was about to eat? I should say not, at least not purposely. Perhaps, I just happened to be standing under the pooping end of this tiny feathered body when his belly needed to make some room.  Maybe I am niave but things that should not surprise me wind up knocking the wind straight out of my sail. Blond or not I never see the punch line coming. It’s always funny, in a manner of speaking, but hey, I guess I live a pretty charmed life if I never see the crappy end of the stick poking out my seat before I sit on. Some might say I don’t see the truth looking me in the face when really I just tend to give people the benefit of the doubt where doubt is due. Sometimes it comes back to bite me in the ass. IT has a big mouth with a lot of sharp teeth, too. Did you see the obscurity in that? Just wondering (insert smiley face here). Tooting my own horn here but I honestly aim to please. Some of you might think that not such a great quality, me being one of them, but at least I’m honest about it.  Everyone should get along and be HAPPY! Here’s another question because I am full of them tonight. When in life do we decide enough already? When is it ok to stop the insanity and move on with life, because quite frankly, life is too short? I guess inessence, I am asking when is giving up not a selfish outcome? Ok so that’s three questions but they go hand in hand and really I’m answering a question within a question which isn’t always easy, so there. Really, I have no idea what I am trying to get at aside from the fact that life is full of crappy things. What we so choose to do about making lemons into lemonade is really my full time job sometimes and it’s not hard to do leading the life I do. I know one thing for sure. At the end of the day I can go to sleep with a smile on my face no matter what crap lands on my shoulder.
