Happy? Naw but at least I am still alive and kicking. Sometimes life wants to throw you don't and stomp the crap out of you, but we just have to dust ourselves off and try to enjoy what life has to offer. Things could always be worse so we have to live in the NOW and try not to think of the future. To me, this upcoming 20 year anniversary proves to me that I am still ALIVE and it definitely has made me stronger as well as more sympathetic and patient to others. I have a wry sense of humor that sees me thru many things and without humor, we would all be sitting in the corner, huddled over and not wanting to participate in life.

Smile at life and it will smile back at you~

Okay, that is my inspirational soap box ravings for the day. Time to go and find a hall that is big enough for at least a 100 porta-potties ;)
