We all wonder what would happen if, by chance or miracle or falling raisins, our lives were to be pulled out of the daily mundanity into something with more technicolour and sparkle. Maybe, we all think that our lives are particularly special. Maybe they are. Maybe only to us.
My dear friend, Sister Janet (who died suddenly five years ago), used to say that we must plough the fields with the horses we have. She said that, when people ask 'Why me?', the answer is 'Why not you?'. Of course, if we're as special as we think we are, this would never apply to us.
To put things in perspective, Sister Janet also used to say 'You're the worst secretary I've ever had' on a regular basis. To show she cared, you understand.
I miss you SJ.
