A Bowl of Cherries vs the Bowl of Sour Grapes

To write is a gift.  Some say it does the heart good too!

I never gave it much thought about how my life would turn out when I was little girl.  I always dreamed of living the perfect fairy tale life. .  Skip the drama and heartache and move on to the part where you live happily ever after.  As I got older I realize that fairy tales where just stories.  That life was complicated.  Maybe complicated is not the exact word.  Drama might explain it better.  

As you get older you realize that life is not a bowl of cherries.  It is a bowl of sour grapes that explode in your face when you least expect it.  I guess you could say it is like a time bomb waiting to go off any minute when the button is pushed down.  Tick Tock, Tick Tock!  Boom!  The sour grapes explode all over your face. It sticks to you very existence of life.  

So why isn't life a bowl of cherries!  Did we choose this path to follow?  Could we have changed the outcome of our lives?  In some cases people do choose the path which they follow while others end up on that path because of complications in their lives.  Complications that they wished they could go back and changed and pick the right path.  Others end on that path because of situations that were out of their control.  Do you really believe that someone would choose a between a bowl of cherries and a bowl of sour grapes?  Think about it.  A bowl of cherries taste a lot better than a bowl of sour grapes.
