Here we are on a Monday afternoon, the sky is gray, a storm is on its way and life continues as usual. I can't help but remember that old Twilight Zone episode where there was a child playing with a town of people inside a shoe box. The people inside the shoe box were living an ordinary live until the child got bored. What if we are that town in the shoe box? What if this really is just a world within a world?

I know that is just boredom speaking, but what if we really are on someone's board? Does it matter if we run the race faster, or make more money? Maybe it doesn't even matter if we wear nicer clothes. I don't know, I'm just saying that if this is really just a game, I don't really care if I come in first. I've never really been very competitive and I don't mind being right there in the middle of the pack. (Oh, no, I guess that would not be the proper thing to say here, would it?) I don't want to be in the middle of the pack! I want to be the leader of the pack! Please, please, please pick me! Pick me! Can't you see my hand sticking right up in the air?

I think I'm going right out to buy bright red clothing, that will make me stand out in the crowd, then I know for sure I'll get picked! Oh, no...maybe I don't want that either. For every rat race there's a cat waiting to pounce. Hmmmm, now I'm quite confused. Which way do I go? I don't know what to do? Should I go left? Or should I go right? Can someone help me please?

Oh no, don't take any help from anyone because we are all competing for the same spot. Never mind....no one help me. This is getting to be too much...My head is splitting open. I think I'll just make a nice cup of hot tea and lie down for a while.

You know this game of life can actually be a bit too confusing for me.
