Ever notice how much life gets in the way of living? From around shadowy corners, out of the old "left field," life happens TO us, giving us a swift kick backwards.
The kicks can come from two very different directions - from other people - and from our own bodies. I don't know which I feel betrayed by more.
I had decided to seek some help from a person for some particular things.... and she had agreed to help. Said then that her "intuition" said she should help me... that she felt a calling to assist me... All was well, until she decided to give me a swift kick..... And her reason? Her "intuition" ! (Gee, guess her intuition cannot make up its mind!) Loyalty doesn't always get respected by some; she didn't appreciate mine obviously. And worse about the "kick," often the reasons people give for kicking you have more to do about THEM than about YOU. Ever notice that? Their faults, mistakes & shortcomings suddenly get blamed on you. I don't think most people are even aware of this when they do it. My opinion: When you are going to KICK ME, at least be HONEST with yourself, and me! Don't blame your reasons on the other person, or use a lame excuse like "intuition" (which you said expressed a completely contradictory message NOW than the message earlier).
The other KICKS come when disease, illness, or accident "gets ya," and without saying, this kind is worse if you've already been kicked in the past by your body revolting against life -- and against you. This time, the kick was indirect. Illness has re-found my daughter, who has been in ICU since last week. She almost
died ....................................................
How............ how......... how does a parent handle that?????
I want to spare her this major life kick ---- but -----
I can't.
How pathetic. How useless I feel.
Kick ME, Life, don't kick my kid.
