I am always amazed at the people who ask why. 
"Why oh why oh why...me?"
Growing up we weren't allowed to ask why. If it happened to you, you just dealt with it. If you asked "Why?" you might be "feeling sorry for yourself". It seems like a harsh way of raising a child but we lived a harsh life and that had to be dealt with. You couldn't just sit and moan "Why?". 
Looking back on it now, I do not regret that we were raised this way. I seldom have trouble dealing with what life hands me. Why oh why? .....Because.

Alphabe-Thursday

 The letter U for Alphabe-Thursday.
http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/search/label/Alphabe-Thursday

U

U are everything to me,
U  make my heart see,
U have taken me to new heights,
U make my soul fight
U steal my heart with little kisses
U make happen my little wishes
U could go anywhere

Yet

U are always there.

I am late for this Saturday Centus but still want to try it.

Easter is always a lovely day
Baskets, eggs and bunnies galore
but when you dress me up this way
you I simply do not adore!

This Day

I am weary, my eyes tear,
my feet hurt, yawns are never ending,
I can't wait to crawl beneath the covers
between those clean cool sheets
where I can stretch out and finally relax
letting the pleasure engulf me.
I have accomplished much today
and am proud of myself. 
What more could I ask for?

Saturday Centus

I hope I do this right as I found this blog and just so wanted to try it so made a new blog of my own just for writing. 


My untied shoelace changed my life. As I leaned down to re-tie it, I kicked away a few leaves. When I turned my head slightly to look where the leaves had been, I was astonished to see a rubber-banded wad of hundred dollar bills nestled in a little indention in the muddy ground.
As I picked it up I thought of all the things I could do with the money and the temptation was there urging me to walk away and keep the money. Instead I walked into the little convenience store I was stopped at. She was in there with her small boy, frantically searching through her purse, looking for the money to purchase her items.  Searching turned to panic and I couldn’t stand it anymore.
“ Are you missing something?”
“Yes, my whole paycheck!”
She looked so terrified.
“Is this it? I found it outside.”
“Yes! Thank you!”
