A tight slap

What goes up must come down

Thats what I leant when I was a child

Who would have thought that its not only gravity that follows this universal rule in life

My life has been a movement of ups and downs for way too long now

up uP UP to a state of sheer delight where my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing and then suddenly there is a splat

Actually more a THUD



A hard blow that brings me back to reality

I have been a bit disconnected at work for the last six weeks or so but after today, I can assure you I have got a tight slap back to reality

This has never happened to me before and I pray it never happens again

I never thought work would upset me THIS much

OUCH - that hurt
