giving them power over us:
power over our sleep, our appetites,
our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness.

but our hate is turning our own days
and nights into a hellish turmoil.

Life is NOT "Supposed to be Fair."
Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.

is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.

Our only path to happiness lies in being open
to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
