Of horseshoes and hand grenades

Do you ever just feel "almost?" Almost what, you may say? Almost anything. Almost done with homework, almost done with this semester, almost starting a new semester, almost home, almost clean, almost focused, almost financial affluent, almost smart, almost pretty. Yea, admit it, you know exactly what I am talking about. Those times when you just feel like you are never quite there, never quite arrived. Then there is the other side of almost: almost having a breakdown, almost failing, almost a mess, almost disorganized to the point of insanity, almost to a new weight record. Yep, I guess everything does have its opposite. Hmph.
