The 'Worth Having'

Do you remember that old adage: "Nothing worth having comes easy"?
I am a living exhibit on the subject, placed on this earth maybe only to serve as evidence in support of this theory. Every time I embark on a journey to improve my life, knowing full well it will be a major adjustment, it instead turns into a battle of epic proportions. Uprooting my life for a 3-month internship 3 hours away becomes complicated by serious illness, car accidents and ER visits from Hell. Starting graduate school turns into an exercise in computer malfunctions and complications with a new computer sprouting legs and apparently walking away, never mind having the wrong textbook delivered and a glitch in my homework submission system.
At some point, I've had all I can take. I throw in the proverbial towel, turn my face skyward and give up. Last Wednesday I suffered a moment of defeat; asking please please, can I have a respite, this is all I can take, thank you.
Apparently, some one is listening.
