“A person with a clear purpose will make progress on even the roughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress on even the smoothest road.”
-Thomas Carlyle
After sending out my email yesterday,I was taken to task by a dear friend.
She pointed out that with all of the rest of the crap going on in the world, wasn't bitching about bagging my own groceries a bit petty?
Once again she was 100% correct. Bagging my own groceries,which I do most of the time anyway,is no big deal
And yes, there are a whole lot of other things that are way more significant than that for me to be bothered over.
Taking her advice one step further, I found myself once again asking why should I be upset at all at any of this.
I have a good life.
Why not work with that.
Is there a bunch of nonsense going on out there?
Only if I choose to engage in it.
Forget about the bull s#!t.
After all, isn't manure just another form of fertilizer?
And doesn't fertilizer help things grow?
Of course it stinks.
My mom used to call it that healthy smell.
After almost 50 years of friendship (yes dear,we will be there sooner than you think), I am grateful to have someone in my life who will call me out, as she has done for decades.
The "stuff"?
As it is written"and this to shall pass!"
