God Is My Cake

        Here is one of the hardest lessons I've had to learn but now that I've learned it, it is the most rewarding.

God is my cake

At Least I Have Cake

People will always fail you at some time or another..... even the best are imperfect..... so don't be surprised when it happens.   Because it WILL happen!!!

Now life is like cake.  God is my cake...  I get to enjoy cake everyday.  No matter what is going on in my life... I always have cake.  Everything else is icing or whatever else you want on top of your cake. 

There are days when all you will eat is cake.... but that alone is enough.  Then... there will be days when extra things happen.... that is the icing in life.  Maybe it is a phone call from a friend.  Maybe it is something nice that a complete stranger does for you.  Maybe it is a good movie.  Perhaps it is a memory of a fun time you had years ago.  Icing typically does not come every day.  Sometimes you can go weeks without icing.  But.... YOU ALWAYS HAVE CAKE!  

So.. on a day.. when you are feeling lonely, unneeded or unappreciated... go enjoy yourself some cake.  Realize that tomorrow there might be icing.  Or just go ahead and make your own icing.  Make a list of things you really like.  A TV show, a book, a country drive, call a friend, relive a happy moment.  Make it happen, and apply that icing to your own cake.  

But... remember... you ALWAYS HAVE CAKE!  

People are like sprinkles or... the icing...... they're  not always there...... but when they are..... it's a special treat..... but I still have the cake to enjoy!

This has been the hardest thing I have had to learn.  It has taken me so long to learn... even a 15 year nightmare excursion in the desert that about killed me... but I finally got it!!!  I am a happier, better person because of this lesson.....just wish I wasn't so darn slow! :-)

Addendum 11/18/21  I believe one if the reasons why the drug epidemic is so bad is because people are looking for sprinkles and cherries and candies on their cake every day.
