I did not write this, but I sure wish I had. I actually heard it on "West Wing" tonight, and thought it was a touching definition of friendship. Thought you all might also find it so. -- Jane
A guy falls down a deep hole and can't get out.
A doctor walks by and the guy yells up, "Hey, I'm stuck down here. Can
ya help me out?"
The doctor writes him a prescription and throws it down the hole.
A priest walks by, and the guy yells up, "Father, I'm stuck down here.
Can ya help me get out?"
The priest writes down a prayer and throws it down the hole.
A friend walks by and the guy yells, "Joe, I'm stuck down here. Can ya
help me out?"
The friend jumps down in the hole, and the guy says, "What? Are you
crazy? Now we're both stuck down here."
The friend says, "Yeah, but I've been down here before, and I know the way out."
About Me
- Jane
- Littleton, Colorado
- Awkward Pose is a somewhat undignified yoga posture that builds inner strength even as it threatens to topple the student onto his or her behind. It's a metaphor for my life, which includes a lot of stumbling, falling and getting even more determinedly back into position. I am the 45-year-old single mom of a teenaged son, once a small town journalist, now owner of a pet-sitting business called PetsRMe. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 22, one of my goals in this life is to help fight the stigma of mental illness. To show that mental illness isn't necessarily a deterrent to living a good life, but a detour on its path. One that can be negotiated with grace, strength and even a smile.
