Sometimes our problems will handle us if we don't learn to handle them.

It almost destroyed the other person,
beat up on him so bad it had him cursing.
I have the same problem,
but I have a real good solution.
I'm not going to let it destroy me,
mess my life up like it did his.


The problem is a real tough one,
oh, it will take the average person down.
That is, if you're not careful.
The other guy turned into an acoholic,
then started doing drugs.
He can't keep a job,
people practically hate him.
Even his dog ran away from home,
wait a minute, what home?
He lost that too.


You see,
I'm a tough son of a gun,
I'm going to handle the problem,
I'm not going to let the problem handle me.
The hell with being on the losing end.
I dare myself to be different.


What's is the problem?


Oh,
it's life,
just living in this F'd up world.
What the hell did you think it was?
I know thousands who just can't handle it.
I'm not planning on being one of them.


You can bet that!


Sincerely,


G

Hi Grady,
Life can be so cruel
at times...
We end up coming to
a fork in the road.
The path of weakness,
and the path of strengh..
It took MANY falls in
my life, but, that is
what it took, to make
me who I am today...

Like they say, "If life
throws you lemons, make
lemonade..." :)

Great write...

Trixie :)

This is true, Grady. We make choices and they can either be harmful to us or they can make us stronger. It's best to choose the ones that won't ruin our life and make a more quote,"F'd up world".

Love,
Patty

My friend, you remind me of a tree..standing tall in the forest. The strong winds come and may sway you just a little, but you bounce back straight and tall once again. You don't let troubles drag you down and make you tumble. You have an anchor. Jesus. I admire you.

Yf,

I hear ya. We are all in danger of becoming something we don't want to be. Unless...we are in control of our emotions and realize that God is within us, we are our own god, we make our lives by our own decisions, and we pay for them if we choose the wrong thing for us.
