Just Because...

Just because you put a lot of effort into a project doesn't mean your boss is going to recognize the work.
Just because you ran all over and got the kids to this or that event on time doesn't mean they will say thank you.
Just because you spent your whole day off cleaning doesn't mean it will stay clean when the kids come home.
Just because you were there for hours talking a friend out of troubles doesn't mean she will be there for you.
Just because you exercised for five days and avoided the ice cream doesn't mean you will lose even one pound.
Just because you saved and saved doesn't mean it will be enough when your car breaks down.
Just because you dressed your best and have the qualifications doesn't mean the job is automatically yours.
Just because you trusted someone to be somewhere on time doesn't mean they won't be late.
Just because you gave your all to a relationship doesn't mean the other person tried as hard before divorce.
Just because you have a healthy lifestyle doesn't mean you skipped the chance at a serious illness.
Just because you spent extra effort in keeping in contact with people doesn't mean they take time to return the favor.
Just because you were in the middle of a TV show doesn't mean the hubby won't switch the channel.
Just because you waited all day for that hot bubble bath doesn't mean there will be hot water when you get in.
Just because you just cleaned the dog kennel doesn't mean the dog doesn't immediately destroy your work.
Just because YOU care doesn't mean the person you want to see affection from will show it back.
Just because you have your future planned out doesn't mean your future is always willing to cooperate.

You have planned, worked, contacted, been there, loved, cleaned...but it doesn't always work out.  So shrug your shoulders, fight another day, and go take a nap.  Don't forget the sign on your door that says "Do Not Enter!  Napping...Just BECAUSE!!!"
