Word on the Street Is

I said I was worried for myself since all these good people are dying;
but I realize that my crusade has slowed in recent years and I've become more bitchy
and callous and judgemental.
So, maybe I am safe for now.

I said in the sunshine today that I'm no stranger to tragedy.
And so it is.

I'm back at a place where self help books like 'six figure women' are refreshing with phrases, like, "Stay Positive" are foreign.
And I was called Debbie Downer by my most cynical buddy and I laughed because I'm sick, but I took it to heart.
And once, another equally cynical friend told me " YOU need Jesus. "
And I was shocked, but I stayed quiet, considering the source.

You always have to consider your source.
