Pony or Poo?

Isn't this the metaphor for Life? In looking through the Chaos (A.K.A., Life) are we looking for that elusive Pretty Pony or just muddling through the Poo? The Christmas Season seems to really bring the question to a visual fore front. Aren't we all looking for something? And isn't it all just your attitude? Granted, Life Events/Situations can definitely sway your attitude one way or another, and I would list chronic to severe mental illness as the exception to the rule. With these 2 elements aside, are we not in charge of how we view our experience? And isn't it what we do with our choices that really matter? Hmmm... More deep thoughts with Suzette McD.
