Usually by now, Id be swimming in the pool, or tanning or at the beach. Not today. Not in this life;this new life that was picked for me-handed to me. No, not handed-handed is a good thing, a rich life-what i was given was slapped to me. Like an open slap across the face. The kind that stings and the spot lingers for awhile. Thats whats happened to me. A lingering sting right on my cheek.
