Everything is not as it appears to be......

Have you ever noticed how it seems like everyone else is in a better place than you are?  They seem to be richer, smarter, prettier, more whatever.....(you name it)....than you are.  Well, don't believe it.  You know that couple down the block that looks like they have it all?  They could be in horrible debt, their marriage could be falling apart, their kids could be having issues.  Would they tell you?  No!! Of course not.  We all want everyone else to think that we have our stuff together.  But, truth be told, we are all in the same boat.  We all have issues....kids with issues, money issues, family issues.  No one is exempt.  No one gets a hall pass.  And, if someone tells you that their life is perfect, they are not being truthful.  The truth is that we are all struggling, all trying to do the best we can with whatever we have.  I am not trying to be a pessismist, but a realist.  The truth is, that I feel better when I know others have their struggles, too.  I feel way better!!  Put that in your bonnet.
