What this week has taught

[Saeria]

As I felt the effects of morphine coursing into my bruised arm I listened to the horrifying crackling breath of the old woman dying just on the side of the curtain. It is times like this I am reminded of how little of life we actually control. Just a year ago I was mostly content,all things considered, teaching small children about a just and loving God every Sunday. My Sundays are now spent bitterly wondering if God is having a good laugh at my expense.
I always secretly believed that if I were the best person I could possibly be that things would right themselves in time. Then I reached bottom. Hey, it can only get better from here, right? The trouble, I think, is life is in fact bottomless.
I am home now, sitting in my reading chair, watching the trashcan in the kitchen. I had tried to empty it since it has been a week I have been in the medical hoosegow, but I m not yet strong enough to lift it out of the can. I did what any sendible person would do and kicked the shit out of the can. The horrid contents scattered across the floor and I began putting them back into the can when an idea came tto o mind. I filled seven grocery bags with trash and tied them together, pitching them over the balcony before taking them to the dumpster.
Life lessons for the day. You may not be wise enough to understand why life is the way it is, but there will always be evidence that you dont have it so bad. Sometimes you wont be strong enough to take out your trash all at once. Sometimes you gotta take it out one grocery sack at a time.
What has this week taught you?

This week taught me that milk that expired two weeks ago should be thrown out.

I admit, my week was slightly less inspiring than yours.

What has this week taught me? One thing: Dont air my personal threads on TMF. If you're interested, please go read "An Even Keel" thread unwisely started by me, for more details. It is out of control,.

Epic lesson for sure. we live in a world of butthurtedness it seems.
As for me, thanks for the sentimenrt. Im not injured, per se. my heart and I had another argument. I said "alrighty, just keep pumping " and the bloodbox said "nah, ill do it tomorrow" so I showed it who was boss with a visit for yummy pills and a catheterization/stent placement. Had the procedure done through my right wrist so I am about as useful as a boobs on a nun.

Thanks, Gothika, its okay,. I worked it out.

I hope you feel better, Saeria. My dad had a stent put in almost ten years ago, and knock on wood, hes Thank God fine. I hope and pray you are too, and will continue to be. Take care of yourself, hun.

There's something downright Zen about that statement! Seriously, it could apply to lots of life situations.

By the way, get well soon.
