Every pity party needs a friend and dessert

We are human. Therefore, it's impossible to have a perfect day, though there are many near-perfect or pretty good ones.

We are human. Therefore, some days will suck big time.

We are human. Therefore, it's okay occasionally to have a pity party to get anger, frustration, fear, and other uncomfortable feelings out of our system … and remind us just how blessed we are almost every other day and compared to many others in the world.

We are human. Therefore, we should not throw a pity party without inviting at least one good friend who will listen and offer, as needed and requested, words of comfort, cheer or "give 'em hell!"

We are human. Therefore, every pity party needs refreshments and other necessities of life.

Dear friend, what time does the party start and what shall I bring … regular or sugar-free, regular or decaf, regular or low sodium, regular or non-fat, regular or diet …

I'll take care of you. That's what pity party pals are for … because we're in this human thing together.
