Dumb?

Oh the games people play now.. every night and every day now....

I'm not sure about you..  but there are times I have these internal battles with me, my outlook on life... It's kinda like the old Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots we had back in the day..... A thought won't go away...  We see something, hear something that turns our stomach.  It might even include our angst toward our own self.  We might reach the Popeye point, in that "I've had all I can takes and I can't takes no more - except, there ain't no magic can of spinach to bail us out.  Oh, it's in the cabinet, and maybe you've had better, similar luck with it.  Nomme.

Life is, can be, (to me anyways) like a game.  And we end up jumping in, showing our hiney, playing, participating in The Game of (mood, Pigpen disposition of):   Ain't it awful.

Well...

No.....  it really ain't.  With Hanz and Franz maybe getting me to sit upright (or, mebbe they prefer knocking the dog doo doo outta me as they prop me up.)....  It came to my brain... (I'm a very slow learner).. How absolutely lucky we are.

What follows is a list compiled in three minutes about why life here ain't bad.  Much, at least for me......... taken for granted.  I know too I've missed, not included so very much.  Perhaps your brain will catch the ones I've missed.

It's WOAH the games people play now..

Maybe WOAH is a good key word for us all to remember when we start taking so much of the wonder in life for granted...
