Well let me put it this way... it had its ups and downs. But as I was reading it I went into my own self, my own life and what I go through and with just a few lines you managed to capture so many feelings about how life really is. I especially enjoyed the ending cause it had a very good thought about how we should treat life. I loved it! It should be on a greeting card in the category of "encouragement".<br />Okay now, I'll try to send this. We'll see. Let me know.<br />God bless, KacieBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647302413116525795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992686662852663243.post-50473181069189656692010-10-25T23:01:23.052-07:002010-10-25T23:01:23.052-07:00Yolanda, I too am tempted to fall prey to despairi...Yolanda, I too am tempted to fall prey to despairing thoughts when my "bad" buttons are pushed, and then rise in exhilaration when the "good" ones are touched. But then when I remind myself of the old Taoist saying which goes something like this..."the naming of good and bad is the sickness of the mind," I can then see and call things "different" instead of designating values to them, and I find it easier to go along for a more balanced and enjoyable ride. It's often difficult to do, but not impossible. (Don't always achieve it, but for ever endeavoring to change the game!)

At least the elevator is much better than the roller coaster which hurles one from joy to depression with lightening speed and leaves us with no time for reflection as to why. The elevator moves slower giving us some time to adjust.Evelyn Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168151874388002406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992686662852663243.post-62552221051769842582010-10-23T20:34:01.408-07:002010-10-23T20:34:01.408-07:00Very, very clever, "Metaphor" Yolanda! I...Very, very clever, "Metaphor" Yolanda! I have learned a lot from you and Bonnie about writing stories using metaphors. Oh how I wish I could see life as easily as you do from such a clever and entertaining viewpoint. I will keep learning from you until I gain more confidence to attempt writing "metaphor style." I always enjoy your stories and your commentary on the stories written by others.Charlene Farnsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345066863909073482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992686662852663243.post-57164871147974293722010-10-22T14:07:22.567-07:002010-10-22T14:07:22.567-07:00Thanks for the smile, Yolanda.
