Not As I Appear

The title says it all but here's a bit of a taste:
My Mother always said."Life...is like a patch work quilt..some parts are ugly some part are pretty and and the stitching is just the bumps in the way to a greener pasture and you can always start over in the new square...their miles and miles to it just chose where you want to go." Oddly enough I understood what she meant.
