Life is NOT "Supposed to be Fair."
Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.

is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

have a strong opinion and point-of-view,
and are sure that we know how everything is supposed to be.

pound pillows, scream, curse.
Then take a deep breath, and get over it.
