Someone Else Got My Life

Do you ever feel as if someone else has absconded with your life?

This evening I heard some news about someone and I swear . . .  this person has haunted me for the last three years, with fruit from trees that I thought were mine for the picking falling right into her lap.

I don't mean that she isn't a gifted person who hasn't worked hard ~ she is and she has.

I just mean that ever since Josh's death, every time I turn around, there she is, standing where I thought I would be standing and doing what I thought I would be doing. 

I think I must have stumbled into yet another person's life by mistake.  But believe me, that person isn't  out there somewhere looking around for it.
