TAKING OFF THE SHINE

Life has a way of taking off the shine.

Monday, I bowled so well.  I had a high game of 214 and an average for my three games of 185.  Our team won all three games and we're in first place.  I came home feeling on top of the world.

Only to get a phone call shortly after, telling me that one of my former bowling teammates had died that morning.  This man was the sweetest person I think I've ever met.  He was always happy and smiling, even after his lung cancer diagnosis.  He loved all the ladies and would come in early each week just to get his "neck hugs."  Yesterday was a good day, then we had to go to the viewing last night.  Up and down.

There are other things going on in my life that keep me from feeling really great.  No matter what good happens, there are things that just dull the luster.  I guess everyone has days like these, but I sure would like a few really shiny days.

Hi Lynne. So sorry 'life' is hard for you right now. Seems as if the whole world goes crazy sometimes, doesn't it? I will pray that the problems you are facing will be solved quickly and easily. It will get better...it always does.
