The Truth Hurts; A tale of one man's journey to find the truth in his own life.

Fortune or Fate

I just love this picture! I can't help it. I think it is funny. Of course, my humor has been twisted over the years and not everyone finds the same things amusing. Be that as it may, I still like the picture, and it appropriately illustrates what I want to write about today.

I used to quip that if it were not for bad luck, I would have no luck at all, but in truth, I have hade plenty of good luck over the years too. The problem is that because I am "the glass is half empty" person, I do not always see the good until much later. People used to tell me that I needed to be more positive, and I would generally reply (because I am a bit twisted, and a smartass at times... okay, frequently..... most of the time I guess) that I am positive something would go wrong. You know the story....

An optimist and a pessimist were walking down the street and the pessimist complains, "Things just can't get any worse than this!" The optimist replies, "Oh yes they can!"

By that definition I am an optimist. LOL That is my story, and I am sticking to it!

Things have a tendency to not always go as we expect. That is life. Always changing, always moving, and virtually impossible to prepare for every contingency. There are always twists and turns along the road of life which I think is why they say life is not a destination, it is a journey. Reading over what little I have written so far, it sounds a little cliche, much of it. Oh well. It is early in the morning, and again I was woken by the phone in the middle of the night. I do not write my best under these conditions. LOL

Too, having just checked my blood sugar, I see I am paying the consequences for forgetting to take my meds yesterday. 452 is exceptionally high, so I just dumped 60 units Humulog (insulin) into my system, and expect my numbers to start dropping quickly. Along with my oral meds, and the 35 units lantus, I should be in better shape before sunrise. I know, that sounds like a lot of insulin. It is, but not that much over what I normally take.
