Dear reader,

When things go wrong,

And you survive, that’s fine.

But then there are the times when you turn turds into a triumph.

On those occasions?

When you go from diving to thriving?

You should win a prize.

In my mind dear reader,

If you’ve lived as long as you have

And have overcome the obstacles that you’ve faced.

Well dear reader, consider me impressed.

You are the cat’s ass.

And you deserve a trophy.

And that trophy?

That’s a cats ass trophy.

Or a catasstrophy.

Either way.

When things go tits up but you still land on your feet?

You’re doing better than you think.

Ya dinks.
