I have a special instant karmic gift or curse: any time I say something bad about someone or something, I immediately summon them to do something to prove me wrong...or the universe changes (or reveals) their situation so that I feel bad about what I said. I could list countless examples of this, but I don't want to make it seem like I talk bad about people all day...it is uncanny, though. It makes me wonder if I really went by the "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" mantra...would my feelings of annoyance still be contradicted so instantaneously? I bet it makes me seem like a terribly inconsistent person, since I complain about someone one day and then I have no problem with them the next day, but I think it's better to be inconsistent than to be committed to disliking someone or something. I guess if I can access any reason to let go of a negative thing, my feeling is that it's good to just unapologetically let it go and don't think too hard about it.
You can probably see where this is going from my last post...ever since last weekend, I have started liking our life in Boston more. :)
did you know that mom was huffin' pine sol all those years?
ReplyDeleteWhatever, evil gpa ed...he is on the wrong blog for that comment...dear Lisa, I think you may be making Boston your nest. Yep-that is what we do when we bring little ones into the world- we work on their environment...and appreciating Boston is a wonderful beginning! Your point is well taken, though, about the way life rebalances us when we take a side...widened views are crucial--narrow views can be very limiting! Love you and Art and baby Gallegos-have a Happy Thanksgiving! We will be thinking about you and missing you so much.
