So I’m reading this book “Thursdays at Eight” by Debbie Macomber (I always have a book to keep me entertained during the train ride to work) the book has these quotes from different people to start off each chapter and the quote at the start of the chapter I read today really struck a cord with me.
“Expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person is like expecting an angry bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian-Shari R. Barr”
I think it struck a cord because this week ROYALLY SUCKED!!!!! like if it was a vacuum it would be one of those they show on TV that can pick up a man holding a bowling ball.
I think most people would have been upset if they were in my shoes this week and having a hormone overload and not being allowed alcohol, didn’t help at all!
I’m extremely aware that my week could have been a hundred times worse, but I also believe that just because someone else looses a leg, doesn’t mean your feet can’t still hurt, my sentiment may seem uncaring, but the point I’m trying to make is that pain/heartache/sucking days are all relative.
My week managed to suck on all 3 phases: WORK LIFE, FAMILY LIFE and SOCIAL LIFE, but at the same time I find myself feeling grateful.
Grateful that I have a job to annoy me, a family to flabbergast me and friends who I care for enough to upset me in this way.
When all is said and done I’m an extremely blessed person and I’m going to try and be more positive, albeit TRY for now.
