Till Its Gone

I've been told the phrase, "you never know what you've got till it's gone" I'd like to test this hypothesis with a short unfinished list. Taxes, hospital bills, house payments, car repairs, insurance premiums, inflation indigestion, flatulence, inflammation, arthritis and.... man-something dysfunction. oh aye, I see it now! If only I imagine all these things have gone from me. I never knew how bad adulting headaches got, I hope they go and flee.

Hi Jesse, I'm with you on this one. Wouldn't it be something if the things you listed would miraculously go away? I enjoyed the read. Thanks for visiting my page:-) Alexis
