A Parallel Universe...

"This must be what a parallel universe is like', I thought.

Everything looked the same, 

but I suddenly felt like it wasn't.

Like everything had been taken apart,

brick by brick, flower bed by flower bed,

and put back together in the wrong order.

Just like me."

Grateful!!!

“Dear Lord,
Today I woke up.
I’m healthy,
I’m alive,
I’m blessed.
I apologize for all
my complaining.
I’m truly grateful
for all you have
done in my life.
Amen”
