How would you sum yours up???  Below is a feature article from Columnist Craig Wilson with the USAToday....gets ya thinking....

Could you sum up your life in six words? "It has been a living hell," maybe?

Hundreds already have in the best seller Not Quite What I Was Planning (Harper, $16.95). Get it?

Now the editors at Smith Magazine have revised the book and expanded it into a deluxe edition. Maybe a good Christmas gift for friends who need to get a focus.

The book is filled with six-word phrases in which dozens of people — some famous, most not — succinctly sum up their lives.

Joan Rivers, for instance, offers this: "Liars, hysterectomy didn't improve sex life!"

Stephen Colbert adds, "Well, I thought it was funny."

Roy Blount Jr. takes a more detached view: "Maybe you had to be there."

I like novelist Joyce Carol Oates' summation: "Revenge is living well, without you." Not that she's bitter.

Summing up your life in just six words is a fun game for a winter's evening. Think of it as cheap therapy.

It can be kind of surprising, too. The end result might be more honest than you ever expected.
