Joke's on me

The universe has a way of giving me what I need, some of what I want, with a sprinkling of those things that I don't want. It is the latter I often have the difficulty with; to me it seems like a test, some sick joke played on me by the forces which I have no control over and occasionally wish I could strangle. The things which ostensibly are undesirable to me often seem to introduce to me an aspect of/to my life which is fascinating, which I had not examined, or which I had viewed with blurred, myopic and sometimes superficial vision.

These wonders which never seem to amaze some how weave their way into my life, becoming so intertwined that it becomes difficult to fathom my life without those things/experiences/people. They contribute to my life and happiness in ways I can not sometimes adequately find words to describe.

My life has not been short of these experiences; and it is all the more enriched for those serendipitous moments/occurrences.    The universe is quite tricky...on occasion it reminds me of this movie "Shallow Hal" and ultimately the message of the movie; it's never what's on the exterior which keeps you...the exterior get you to the table, the interior keeps you seated.
