The Lord give and the Lord hath taketh away.
Everything in this world comes back to appreciation and acceptance.
A lot has happened since I've written last. From Senor Douche Bag dying to another Colorado killing spree There's been a lot of "awakenings" happening all over the world. With the use of the WorldWideWeb we are able to see and feel so much about what's going on.
I look back and see that if you are unappreciative enough of something it will be taken away from you. I'm not saying the friends of family didn't appreciate those poor people in the Batman movie, but maybe as a society as a whole is unappreciative and God sent us a little message.
My ex-psychopath recently passed away, by this own hands nonetheless. No he didn't blow out his brains or slits his wrists, he might as well have, though. He was a "professional" eating contest "winner" (binge eating, isn't gluttony a sin?), at least pack a day smoker, binge drinker, a compulsive liar and bulimic. Now if you add all those things up, its very taxing on a soul, let alone a body. He hated himself so much from the inside out that his heart (beating lump of coal) gave out and he passed into his maker's arms (whether it's a God or the devil, I'll never know but I can guess).
Along with my own revelations. I was stuck in my own head, miserably wanting what other people had and completely forgetting to look around me. I have so much. I am so blessed. There are people out there with so much less, how dare I get envious of things I don't have. Shame on me! It took me days without access to my life back home to see how blessed that I truly am. It could have all been taken away from me and THANK GOD SO MUCH IT WASN'T.
My cousin is an example. She cries "Why me? Why me?" because she can't run marathons anymore due to a car accident. Well at the time she was completely spoiled, mean and ungrateful about all her blessings and God knocked her down a couple notches. Also, she was given a financially blessing and blew threw it. Each to their own choices and what lessons they learn from them.
These things I thing about and ponder. Do other people think about this stuff the way I do. What would have happened if I was someone's mistake? How about you? Are there really mistakes to begin with? Everything happens for a reason. We usually don't know those reason until down the road. We can only live and love each day as it comes. Who knows what tomorrow brings, if it will even come.
This is a lot of rambling, most of it not even about my life. To those in this blog, some that will divinely see this, some that will never lay eyes across this, whatever we have it is what it is. Be grateful and love where you are and you will be blessed with more.
Gratefully yours, Merry Ms Berry
