| Week 47 of Photo 52: Thankful |
As hard as it is for me to accept my certain heartbreak,
I am also so keenly aware of my blessings, every - single - day.
They are big and they are small... and they are precious.
They are pure grace!

My cup overfloweth, indeed, and I am so thankful!
And so, I just wish I could stop also feeling as awful as I do.

In the words of the great William Idol, "Too much is never enough." Isn't it ironic that we lament the thing we don't have in spite of the abundance of what we do have. You are not alone in that one either.
ReplyDeleteI take it to extremes and criticize one thing about the one person I care about the most and fail to recognize the millions that more than make up for that one.
The problem I really have is that the happier I am, and the more crazy I become for that sweet fella I married, the more I want - with him - what I can't seem to have. Speaking of irony, as I think you know, for a long time I thought I didn't want kids. With R... I want them more and more. I think that's what's so particularly hard for me to deal w/, since as time and trials go on, I'm more and more aware of how lovely I have it - which only makes the longing more. HEY - maybe I should be LESS grateful and LESS happy, then I'll be glad I don't have kids!!! Why would I want to bring them into misery?? Yes, this is the ticket!!! ;-)
DeleteAs for you, all I can say is, "Good, you've pinpointed it. Step two is washing it out." Hee!! I had to look that up b/c I couldn't remember exactly how it went - but good ole Ray Zalinsky does give some good advice - though easier to say than do. Still, it's much more widely applicable than Big Tom's advice on how to examine the quality of steaks. :-)
