it is amazing to me that no matter what happens you cannot have your cake and eat it too. although this is true, i have learned to accept either the ‘having’ or the ‘eating’ as great options. i just wish sometimes i could have both. now i am sure i sound greedy. as my mom used to say “you just want, want, want…”
but what is wrong with wanting the best for yourself? that’s all i’m after. not that i am entitled to only the best things, but i feel i deserve the things that make me happy. and most times when you work hard and are dedicated they come.
just never all at once. you get one.. then as one fades another slice of cake shows up at the door.
all you slices need to get together and come to my house!
don’t get me wrong. i am so very grateful for all the wonderful people, and chances i have been given so far in my great life.
just as i am about to embark on a new journey of a job i am very excited about… other things in my life are looking down… but ya know maybe if you had your cake and always got to eat it too.. you’d be full all the time… and i hate that feeling 🙂

I never never never said "you just want want want"…however having said that …always remember how lucky you are to get every slice you get.every one is a lovely beautiful gift, embrace them as if they were your last…that whole cake at once thing would make anyone an ugly person…..not literally…Love you Mommy
