From the This I Believe series, this excerpt from “Be Cool To The Pizza Dude.”
“In the big pizza wheel of life, sometimes you’re the hot bubbly cheese and sometimes you’re the burnt crust. It’s good to remember the fickle spinning of that wheel.”
Indeed. And perhaps as important:
1) My judgment as to where, at any given moment, I am located on the “big pizza wheel of life” is suspect, and in any event, “remember the fickle spinning of the wheel.”
2) Heck, just being located on the wheel is cause for celebration.
