Blog City - DAY 1651 June 25,2018 Prompt: In an interview, Charles Krauthammer said, about his paralysis, “I made a promise to myself on day one [after my injury]. I was not going to allow it to alter my life. You get two choices. You can be hopeless and despairing, or you can live your life. And to me, there was basically no option.” What are some of those difficult things you do not let to change your life? If you do not want to write about yourself, write about someone you know or even a story character. I am always inspired and amazed by people who have a spirit of positivity and perseverance. No matter what life throws at them or how devastating it might seem, they are able to make the choice to live and love life despite all of it. One man even is a motivational speaker... Nick Vujicic. This guy is amazing! And his sense of humour rocks! As for my own difficult times.... I try to remember that there is always someone who is having a worse time of it than me. That helps me to be able to step up and face what it is. I also put my faith in God and remember that He will never give me more than I can handle. Life struggles make us appreciate the good times. They build character. And it helps to remember that 'this too shall pass'. |
Blog City - Day 1647 Prompt: Write a Blog entry about a Hope Chest. Hope springs eternal A chest of hopes bound for the future Holding dreams Young women giving way To expectations And the romantic notions of love. But my hopes never really followed That course... no matter that I tried To do the expected, But my heart was not so fully tamed. I dreamt of more Of a life free to follow my dreams Where words tumbled forth Without the demands of household chores Or hungry children Or a husband whose own expectations Tried to define our life together. I followed and failed... But now, after all this time I am on my own again I can listen to my own heart strings And I hear a symphony with its own cadence Its own calling lure That pulls me Bound to a different trajectory That is not defined or directed by others But by my own longings And hopes for the future. |
Blog City - Day 1644 Prompt: “If you are in love with somebody, that love is a gift to you.” Sri-SriWhat are your thoughts on the subject, and is that love still a gift when your beloved mistreats you? Now first of all it the gift 'to love someone' or is it 'to be loved by someone'? I am thinking the love is reciprocated... and in that case the love is both a gift to you and to them. If that love is received but then you are mistreated, then that is not a gift to you. It is a gift they are intent on smashing about and mistreating. The person giving the love is drawn to them and staying with them... they are in a minefield of pain and anxiety and nobody deserves that. The gift in that case would be to extricate yourself from that unhealthy situation and move on. The sad part is, many stay... and bring children into that vortex of chaos and pain. Love is hard to learn in that situation. Fear, instead breeds like a virus and plagues their lives if they can't break the cycle of unhealthy 'love'. If your beloved supposedly loves you and mistreats you it is not love. Love is kind and forgiving and generous... all those good things in Corinthians 13. Someone who mistreats you does not know what love is; they were probably never shown love and so it is expressed as they learned it, with conditions and restrictions that are not going to let the relationship thrive and grow, but sputter and die. Healthy love is a gift and a treasure. Those in a healthy love relationship can count on one another and trust each other. Growth and change happens and they are able to go with the changing times and adapt. It is not without conflict, but it is open to communication and compromise.... and both partners must compromise. If it becomes one-sided, communication must be used to get back on track. Those is a healthy relationship work together for the good of both partners. Resentments and conflicts must be addressed and dealt with so that both partners feel heard and understood. If not dealt with the relationship festers and could die if proper action is not taken. Some of us don't learn how to communicate our needs and tend to let the other person run their agenda and that is all well and good until that other person decides they don't want to be in charge anymore... or they claim to want more input from their partner... who does not know how to express themselves. Love relationships are fragile. They must be maintained and cared for by both partners. |
