Reality is...

Reality is what we experience when the fantasy fails us. Sometimes we think our fantasies are reality until reality gives us a swift kick in the butt and makes us take note of what is real and what is not real.

Real is we are all prone to self destruction, to lose, to hurt, to die. So how does reality become so obscured? How do we forget ourselves and get lost in the raging sea of real life?

We are resilient when it comes to the lines crossed from one realm to another. We snap back quickly when the fantasy has been interupted. But then we start a new reality because the old one is now lost in that raging sea to never return or be the same again, and if we are lucky we will be able to handle our now reality.

“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can't fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that's good.” ― Elizabeth Edwards

People tend to cling tight to their version of reality. Why? Because we feel safe there. Nothing can hurt us there. And because we are scared of what really exists for us on the other side of it. Pain, sorrow, anquish of being merely mortal.

Because it is too hard to move past the pain and build anew. We rather believe the lie we have created within us, the one that allows us to be whomever we want to be.

Distorted truth? Most times yes! Are we all vulnerable to our own truths? Yes we are but just as vulnerable to the truth reality has for us as well. Are we ready for it when it happens? Usually not.

Can we be happy with reality once the fantasy has been destroyed? Absolutely. Will it take work and perserverence? You betcha! Will it be worth it in the end? Absolutely!

“Regain your senses, call yourself back, and once again wake up. Now that you realize that only dreams were troubling you, view this 'reality' as you view your dreams.” ― Marcus Aurelius

So, whatever your reality is don't forget about the one that runs parallel to it. The one that strikes in a second and strips you of everything you THOUGHT was real.

The one that never discriminates and forces you to look into the mirror we all avoid with all our mite, ourselves...

Who's Life is it anyway?

"Who's Life is it anyway?" Isn't that usually the question when we as human beings feel disrespected by others? Do you pay my bills? Or put food on my table? No!

So i ask, why do you think i care about what you think of me? Are you anyone important? No! You are plain and ordinary like everyone else. No less but certainly no more.

When people become upset or annoyed over the petty things it kinda shows what kind of regards they have about the things that really matter in life.

Lets ya know who the true ones are in your life and who to dust off your feet and move on with a Pthh and a sigh. Glad to have them gone because using others for what they can offer you is wrong!

Lessons learned? History repeats itself? What goes around comes around? Karma's a B**ch? Are those statements to live by? You betcha! Do i? You betcha!

I also believe in the Lord Jesus Christ whom i KNOW takes care of me and my family, and He takes care of yours although you probably think you are the one who is responsible for that.

That is definitely something we are ALL entitled to, the right to THINK whatever we want. Judgement Day will tell all so i wont bother to worry about your thoughts.

I have the most perfect gift one can have, FAMILY! My kids and Grandbabies is proof of God's love and respect for me.

He has loaned me these treasures because HE says i am worthy of this. Until you become Jesus then don't judge me because to judge me is to not know me...

Thank you Lord, for Your Blessings on me and my family and for Your Blessings on EVERYONE in this world and their families.

Please forgive me Lord of my sins. Please forgive others who sin against You Lord. Please heal ALL the sick and save ALL the lost and make all wrongs right Dear Jesus. I Pray this in Your Name - Amen
