My little slice of heaven

Now, what do you consider to be your little corner of the sky?
"Don't take more than you can bite.." that what they say isn't it?
We should learn to be content, learn to handle things bit by bit.. a little at a time.. before we rise to greater challenges. What's often happening however is quite the opposite. Instead of that, I'm finding life is becoming something of a real hazard, often throwing you in at the deep end of the ocean and forcing you to swim or quite literally, sink.

Caught a little snippet of "Desperate Housewives" and for the first time i really identified with Lynette's character and how she must feel being unable to juggle her husband's failing career, children who were proving such a handful (boys!all THREE of them!) and life just seemed too hard to handle. It's true, what Bree said, "No one likes to admit they cannot handle it".. No one ever likes to say "I don't cut it" and say it as much as we'd like.. we don't really WANT to say "I quit". That's as good as a last resort really.

I used to ADORE watching "My Restaurant Rules" and slurped up every little detail about putting a restaurant together and the trials that it made the couple go through. Amazing how one can feel so confident about the concept from the outset but get so emotional and weighed down and troubled in the process, when considering the eminent closure of the restaurant they'd set up as a couple.

It's sweet and i'm sure i'd LOVE to be supportive if ever a special someone would want to go into such a venture. But having had a little tantalising taste of business, it just ain't easy out there and it can be a potentially really harmful thing to want to go into a business partnership together... and yet unveiling potentially great rewards and joy .. naturally building a stronger relationship should the whole business work out!

I've always wondered and imagined it must take "some kind of magic" to have that special connection with someone and to be able to pre-empt what he or she is gonna say next and what they think. I suppose that's chemistry. Do ya think chemistry can be built through time? Honed? ... possibly but if it wasn't there in the first place, little hope of it developing!
