RE: ‘What You See is What You Get’ OR ‘Autovote Application, Apply Within’
I'll take the real story, the pain, the disappointment, the awful reality. No matter what, someone out there, maybe your next door neighbor, your church member or who knows, your sister, has it far worse than you. No human being I know, has ever escaped the trails and tribulation of life.
Even those who suffer from f'd upness, they too have their story. Addictions and diseases very often can be traced back several generations. Not that it's an excuse, but may help those down the chain to understand, not only themselves better but to help you to forgive and accept.
We are all imperfect, the sooner we accept ourselves as we are, the sooner we try to be better, By accepting others as they are...
IMPERFECT !
We only have today, tomorrow is not guaranteed, make the most of all the blessings you have today. Forgive, let go and who knows, forgiving may lead you to peace once and for all...
What you see is what you get...
“F’d upness.” <- Love it.
Hopefully maybe by repeating such a vivid memory, it’ll strike a chord with those people who also have vivid memories and they’ll pay closer attention when setting the stage for the next generations memories. ...wishful thinking.
I appreciate this long response @farm-mom, when I get responses like this it tells me what I had to say really yanked on your emotions—perfect! 😉
I just read this article again, kind of interesting the way it swayed from one end of the emotion spectrum completely over to the other side.
You really do surprise me with some of the more serious stuff. A little mind bending for me, I had such a stable, orderly, loving upbringing. My parents were married for 55 years with 7 children, 18 grand-children, and 2 great-grand-children.
We were all about family, tons of cousins, I truly am thankful for that solid base, I'm one of the lucky ones.
Now the Autovote application was really good, funny and light, nice job with that transition. Glad you went that route, if you left me after "What you see is what you get", I may have dwelled on it and felt sad.
Instead, I was laughing.
Thanks for stopping by...Enjoy your day.
