Why Me

Why is everyone healthy but me? Why is everyone pleasant but me? Why is everyone happy but me? Why are all these people excited except me? Why are all these people party animals except me? Why are these people all crazy enough to accept me? Don’t they know I am sick?

Perhaps they just feel sorry for you?

Yes, I do believe you have nailed it. People so often do. I am open-mouth-laughing now. As the people I spend most of my time with are the children, and it is all about them, like it is all about me. That's where I get it.

Great food for thought here. At first I thought: No, they don't know, and they wouldn't care either. Then I got to thinking that maybe they're just as unhappy and miserable as you---they're just wearing that smiling mask...At any rate, why not enter it in Silent One's 'Food for Thought' contest? :) gw

This is an excellent idea, Gershon. I might do just that!

I LOVE Koolaid made with sugar; this sugar-free Koolaid is awful! I cannot get away from the "sick" theme these days.
