So as I sit here, angry; I want to be sarcastic, caustic, humorous. I want to thumb my nose at the world. To essentially tell the world to bite me. To say, that I have it all under control. That it doesn't bother me, that I have to get in and out of my car five times in the morning just to remember everything. Everything which is essentially nothing. I want to pout. To pooch my lip out like a kid, and shout at the top of my lungs, "ITS NOT FAIR". Cause its not (life). Ya know.
I looked it up, and write there in fine print just below the warranty section, right after jurisdictional issues between mallard/platypus relationships; it says, "BEAR IN MIND LIFE IS NOT FAIR".
So I will sit here grateful. Grateful and angry. I will allow myself to pout, whilst I acknowledge the reality that there is in fact real suffering going on in the world. The world to which, despite my incessant protestations, continues to NOT revolve around me.
God bless.

Can you imagine how awful it would be if the world really did revolve around us? If the fact that we forgot to grab the whatever we missed on the last trip into the house had serious impact on the world? You know, like leaving your glasses behind, or not getting the shopping list, or not getting teh extra water bottle if the kids get thirsty.... I leave the house at least three times too.
Love,
Amo
I have the same kinds of tantrums and am grateful that I can use perspective to leverage appreciation. I am so, so, SO lucky.
P.S. Hi, Amy!
