livin on a roller coaster
Life has been up and down as of late....quite the rollercoaster ride. Trying to cope with everything in life, picking and choosing my priorities carefully. One priority is the kids. Worrying about both of them and their situations, doing what I can to figure out what step to take next. The moron people my son was buying his truck from decided they wanted all the rest of the loan now, so he had to give them the truck, because he didn't have that kind of money on hand to hand over to them. Fucking rich people have no compassion for those trying and struggling to survive....they just care about #1, themselves. Alls I can say, is, karma's a bitch. They'll get their just desserts someday. Anyhow, the farm owner he works for PT is lending him a truck in the meantime until he's done with his paramedic training. It's not great, but it'll get him from point A to point B...which is what matters right now. I look forward to the day when he gets his paramedic license - he's so committed to that goal. I'm extremely proud of him and all the hard work he is doing to make that goal a reality....I just wish certain others would see that and think of that before their own selfish desires. ::steps off soapbox:: Karma.
My daughter has been dealing with a lot of stuff, too...I just hope she's not taking on too much, ya know? A person's gotta have time to rest now and again. I worry a lot about her, but I'm trying to back off, too, and not interfere in her life. I just feel she's happier that way, I dunno. I just hope she knows how enormously proud of her I am...she's a shining star.
I've been deeply involved in helping my friend in Florida cope with a recent health crisis. Through it all, through all our conversations, I'm finding a type of spiritual reawakening, not religious per se, but a deeper awareness of self-reflection and where it fits in the current world, and why. She is truly amazing to me each and every day, with her insight and her wisdom beyond her years. One thing I've noticed in our little group, that I've extended beyond that into my daily life, is to tell those we love that we love them. Here and now. Making sure they know that fact. The many facets love shows us in our lives, and what is reflected in others, is a remarkable thing to experience and share, and a blessing beyond compare. I'm so grateful to have seen it in action.
