Life's a Cliche'

My life is a cliché.  That’s not necessarily a bad thing….depending on the cliché of the day.
Right now I could qualify for your garden variety of phrases such as: my cups half full or I choose to look on the bright side.
As luck would have it, I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
 I’ve never thought the grass was greener on the other side or sat around and waited for my ship to come in. I pretty much seize the moment and at the end of the day I count my blessings. I get up on the one.
That’s not to say I haven’t sometimes felt I was at the end of my rope or had a bad hair day. Everyone finds themselves between a rock and a hard place at some point. Lately I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster and am hungry for the light at the end of the tunnel.  I don’t want another curve ball if you can read between the lines. I’m ready for everything to come up roses, but for crying out loud, I don’t want to wait until the cows come home. Wanting it won’t make it so. And it is true that actions speak louder than words, so I have to remember to cool my jets.
Life’s pretty much what you make of it and hope springs eternal…. so, no more waiting for the other shoe to drop.
 I’m back on an even keel and I’m not just whistling Dixie.
