a nice card :)

A friend of my mom's sent a card along with her and upon her return last night I got to read it.  It is so fitting to my situation that I had to share:

"They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  Well, what if you didn't sign up for extra-strength training?  What if you'd rather catch a few breaks once in a while?  Is that so much to ask?  At some point, you'd think you'd be entitled to a free pass or two:  skip this challenge.  Avoid that crisis.  Delete those problems.  It's not that you're not strong or that you don't have what it takes to get through this.  You are, you do, and you will.  But you've built enough character already, and it's time for things to lighten up a little!  I know it's not really my call, but if I were in charge of life's wheel of fortune, you'd get a free spin.  And I'd be right there, cheering you on!"
