So when was really the last time you counted your blessings?
Now when was the last time that one of those blessings was a human person, and they did something that got you a crappy feeling, and you held onto that? Is it really worth it? When you think about it, is it worth being mad at someone who you care about?
Now let me ask this: If you were mad at someone, and something happened to them or to you? How would that work out?
If you felt crappy at someone, and they knew it, and something happened to you, how would that work out for them?
Hell, when you’re mad at someone, you just haven’t given them enough time. Everyone has a good side. It just takes time for them to show it. So when you really think about it, is it worth being negative over that?
Do you really appreciate the people in your life? What if one of them just disappeared one day?
Ridiculous. That won’t happen to me.
Yes. It can. And they never warn you. Like one time, my great uncle was in bed rest because of his weakening body, but he was improving. At one point we even thought he was going to be able to walk again.
Then one day, his body crashed. He started throwing up. My parents rushed to him and called an ambulance. He said no, that he did not want to go to the hospital, but my parents insisted.
He never made it to the hospital. And there was no warning. I regretted not spending more time with him. Just talking to him. Live with no regrets? Yeah right. At least I had told him that I loved him. But hey, I remember my last words to him:
“I’ll see you later, alright? Bye bye uncle.”
Well now the question now was not what would I do if I knew that he was going to die in a day, but what would I do if I had one more day to spend with him. I would create an endless list of things to do, places to go, and never leave him.
But I didn’t. Instead, I was doing school work, preparing for finals. Now is school really that important? Is that five point assignment really worth it, or is it hindering your living?
Well that’s just another touchy subject…
So what is it that I’m preaching this time? I guess you can interpret it in a few ways. Go tell your mom and dad that you love them. Really now? Was that really a big deal? Don’t wait until the last minute to do something for someone. Let go and hold on. Let go of those negatives you hold against someone, and hold onto those positives. (Easier said than done, but possible).
Just a random thought/realization thing.
