May 6, 2003

Something I wrote in May of 2003:

*******************

A day like today can really only hold one true lesson — that life doesn’t necessarily try to beat you down on purpose, it just tests your resolve, in case it decided to. And that’s just it about life - always with the lessons.

For some reason, life has taken it upon itself to prepare us. To be ready for anything and live to tell about it. Actually, when you break it all down, life seems pretty much a series of survival handbook pop quizzes. It’s a prep course in what's next. And maybe that’s the problem.

There is no memorization. There are no study questions, No tutors, either. No one knows what's coming, or what awaits us. It could be a curve ball inside or a romantic comedy with clean and palatable actors and a Hollywood happy ending.

More often than not, it’s a lot more like the weather. Bring an umbrella.
