Is that a pot of gold or am I about to fall off this rainbow?
As I sit here mulling over the next few months, the reality of the world sinks in. I have always been the type to not get too much involved in friends lives. If my opinion was asked for, I gave it. Otherwise I kept my mouth shut for the most part. I never liked getting caught up in-between 2 friends and whatever problems they were having that particular day.
Today a friend of mine showed up with a black eye and it totally ruined my whole day. It seems that she and her roommate/lover/adversary had finally come to blows last night to end their relationship. I know that relationships end and lovers part ways most of the time these days but I thought these two gals would find a way to make it work out. IMO, the downfall was as I said awhile ago, neither had the ability to let the other one have the last word.
I wonder how often this is the case in any failed relationship?
The other thing that has been on my mind these past couple of days is an old friend of mine that was in a car wreck . He was already in poor physical shape and it looks like this has done him in. He's gone through cancer, emphysema and various other ailments but always rebounded with a smile on his face. This time the rebounding may be more difficult,
It seems he has a broken nose, collar bone, hip and back. Since surgery has been ruled out because of his previous conditions, he'll probably never walk again. I'd just about bet though that sometime in the near future that a beep from a hoverround will get my attention and sitting there will be Frank... smiling away!
So while I sit here some days grumbling about turning 50 in fairly good health, it humbles me to know that it could be worse.
Not sure if my prayers mean anything but they go out for these friends.
