Life is Funny.

Life is funny, life is crazy...it creeps up on you and when you least expect it, it pounces. If you are not careful it can wrestle you to the ground and win or you wrestle it to the ground and feel so good about things that it could be your downfall.

Family may not always tell you straight for they don't want to hurt you so they spare you the horrid details rolling around in their heads and thus keep you in the dark while your ambitions in life keep you oblivious that anything is wrong.

Friends...hmmm...I am not sure there is such a thing. If you feel a family like bond with someone, they could be a friend. If not, they are merely an acquaintance. I have a hard time trusting either anymore. They always prove most forgetful when times are tough and most critical when you need their support. I have very few "friends" because these relationships are so one-sided.

Careers are great if you are fortunate enough to find one you like. Not all moms get to be home with their children if they want to be, not everyone gets to follow their dreams and be what they wanted to be as a kid. What did I want to be? I said I wanted to be a doctor more than anything. I wanted to save lives, help people. That was my dream before I discovered writing, so I was very young. I would make a hospital in my bedroom and use my dolls as patients, take those old big pepsi bottles and fill them with water and red food coloring, replace the caps and run plastic tubing to my dolls' arms for I.V.'s. I had dr. kits with little pretend syringes and a stethescope. I was going to be great. But, I slacked off in high school and ended up going to a medical technology school where I graduated with honors and went to work in the medical field and found out that it was not about helping people at all! My medical dreams were dashed and I left the field and have never been back.
I was told that it was very possible that I may have pituitary cancer some years ago and that prompted me to begin writing after not lifting a pencil since high school, I began what is now Noble Courage and realized that writing is what I love to do...It is just getting it to my audience that is diffucult. Obviously, I do not have cancer and it was a false alarm...but it was one of those funny things in life that prompted me to do what I had always wanted to do and I have accomplished it.

Life will throw you twists and turns and make it hard to exist sometimes...so do with it what you can!
When Life gives you lemons...Make lemonade!
