I was on the garbage truck and I did not know it. I was riding and he was driving and all of a sudden one day he just left me there.. hanging on to the back. I didn't even KNOW it was a garbage truck, tho there had been a few whiffs that should have told me!
I drive my OWN garbage truck now and I am not going to the dump... I have cleaned that sucker up and it is filled with the budding flowers of recovery (and not a few blossoms). It smells better too. It is going where I want to go.. I have a plan and I have a future. Occaisionally I do get a little garbage but less all the time.
I could not have stayed thru the ride to the dump and I am not going there anyway.. not my destination.
There are those who can get on and off the truck repeatedly. I am not that person. I really don't have nearly enough patience and my life is way too short for even a little ride to the dump.
