Silver Bells
Who asked for the cold weather, all I recall asking for was some snow. Maybe, you can't have one without the other. That sounds like life itself, doesn't it? Tsk tsk. Well, it's [life] has been a test of my patience lately and frankly it's wearing a little thin. That is with ppl who have nothing in mind but to "right the righteous". Here's a piece of advice. Clean out your own fucking closet before you go lurking in anyone else's. I can honestly look back in the mirror and say this:
1) I have not intentionally hurt anyone in the last 26 years, even when i've had really good reason to.
2) The things I have done in the past I am proud of and stand by, even to this day.
3) I can look in the mirror every day and say I am at Peace with myself.
4) I have done far more good things in my life than bad.
Can you say the same? I seriously doubt it.
I had coffee yesterday with a friend and things for this individual are not going so well. She asked for my advice and at first I hesitated because lately when i've dispensed "advice" or feelings, it has been amorally twisted and misinterpreted. So I asked her, "What do you want to do about the situation?" and she told me what her feelings are atm. All I can say is some ppl better get their shit together and fucking fast because their joy ride is going to be abruptly over. Karma is a bitch baby!!! And just to think, if I had dispensed some "advice" about tolerance and patience maybe I could have averted some serious consequences for this individual. Live and let live.
I have learned a lot from my daughter. Inside of her 22 years is a very wise old voice sometimes. I just want to say Alyssia, I love you and I respect you. I am proud that Barry and I have raised such great adults! I have a daughter who is unique, sweet, honest and a son who is strong, independent and getting along well in life. Neither of them have been in jail, borrowed money from loan sharks, sold drugs, bummed off people or shirked their responsibilities and are happy atm in healthy relationships. Before my mother died, she told me the greatest accomplishment in her life and there were many, was raising my two brothers and I. After 22 years of raising a family I can now say: I understand this. Although, I think my mother would be disappointed in my younger brother :(
These are my rambling thoughts for the day. I have fresh butter tarts to eat and short bread cookies right out of the oven. Figure out my theme yet?? Oh and of course hockey..woohoo.
