Don't judge a book by its covers.

Now I know why I can relate to my little foster dog so well. We have lots in common her and I . For one thing we both look fine on the outside. The inside is another story entirely. The world has beaten us both down in one way or another.

You can't see the scars but they are there. You can't touch them yet they are real. The cover of our books look fine. It's so easy to say that nothing is wrong with either of us. However, if you just look inside you will see the truth. In our books the pages are all torn , dirty and tattered. The spines are broken and the pages are loose. Pages and chapters are lost never to be found. But we look just fine.

I don't work. I get a check once a month. That sounds nice, money for nothing. Free time , no responsibility except to myself. Some of you might wish that you could be in my situation. For your sake I hope you never get that wish.
