**Right about mid morning
I somewhat get the hang of it
After my fifth cup of coffee
And a pack of Raisinets**
**It seems a constant struggle
To keep it in the loop
If you don't hit the daily double
Then your no longer in the groove**
***The only thing to count on
Out of everything I see
Life is not as easy
As we're lead to believe***
**If I have a chance to jump
It's mostly in a lake
Not all the time mind you
But more often than I care to say**
**I've even lost a couple inches
In all my running round
Have I failed to mention
I keep beating myself down**
***The only thing for certain
In everything I see
Life is not as easy
As they'd have us believe***
**I've learned the art of waiting
In the waiting line
If patience is a virtue
I've wasted to much time**
**The way of finer living
Is spinning down the drain
The only thing life's giving
Is more of the same**
***It keeps on confounding me
All of this I see
Life is not as easy
As it all first seemed***

My last Dr's appointment they informed me I was 2 inches shorter than I have been most my life! I really am beating myself down!
