Sometimes this old earth smacks you upside the head.
Work,weather,bills etc kinda got me into a funk this week. Yesterday,the boss asked me to get an invoice signed by a customer.
I get there and am talking to the customer. Pictures of his family on the living room wall.
His son enters the room in a wheelchair. He had those atrophied legs of someone in one for a long time. Probably late teens,early twenties.
SMACK
Life ain't so bad.
