Life is like......


......a sushi bar conveyor belt.

I was having lunch with my daughter yesterday at Blue C Sushi when the meaning of life hit me in the face like a wet mackerel.

You sit at the bar and watch different choices pass in front of you. Sometimes you have to wait for what you want to come by; sometimes you choose something that turns out to be not so good; sometimes you have to push the little button to get someones attention so they can get you what you want. The dishes pile up and you pay for what you've taken.

There are those of you out there that sit and wait and wait for the right thing to come by and never think of pushing the little button, and there are those of you out there that see what they want but are afraid to take it for fear that it won't be good. The balanced person takes what they want, asks for help when they need it, is willing to take a chance on the unsure, and can pay for it all. What kind of person are you?

Well, being a Libra, I am fairly on that balanced thing. Mostly anyhow. Where does getting up out of your life and leaving the state fit in? Is that asking for assistance? It was nice to see you, however briefly, the other day at the shop!
