Life is full of surprises. Good and bad. The great things in life can make life seem beautiful like the sun setting over a beach or make it seem as grand as the Grand Canyon. But when there are good things, there are bad things. That is not necessarily true , but when something bad does happen in life it can get you tangled in its rope. It can even strangle you with its thin, sharp tentacles. But you survive, don't you? Aren't you breathing, walking and talking? You should be grateful that you're still alive. Life is short. Live it while you can. Make the most of it while you're still alive.
