Pot Luck

Live your life, do your work, then take your hat. - Thoreau

He came into the world with à la carte expectations

and soon realized that more often than not ...

... life is pot-luck ...

Author's Note

"Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind." - Thoreau

great song, great poem, but do you think one could meet their expectations with preparedness and not just luck

[Pete]

one can absolutely meet expectations with preparedness though easier with the wind at our backs rather than in our faces. that's the beauty of life - rising above circumstances and fulfilling destiny regardless. what defines us is how react in adversity. thanks quill - hoping that the tide is with you and your pot contains all your desires fulfilled! ... :)
