Selfish: Choices and Consequences

The word expect is seldom satisfying. The word selfish is something I do not practice nor do I believe in. Now the word “expectation” we all have to live with expectations whether we are the caretaker and/or a parent. We all have a choice between right and wrong and with each decision a consequence can be at the end of the decision. Yes with age comes wisdom but choices should follow through with common sense and boundaries. ~ B.B.

Blessings: Simply Grabbing Strength While Keeping Faith!

I have figured out why it is said that children keep you young. It’s because a child keeps your mind from growing old while you practice every moment with an unconditional lovable heart. Your energy does deplete daily just as any parent let alone the fact that you are the grandparent. In an unpredictable moment a natural recharge fills the gap because your faith and belief kick in pushing forward knowing that anything is possible when you try with a mindset of you can do this

Just me: A moment in time.

While trials and triumphs ring my bell,

I make sure that I explain myself so very swell!

It isn’t that I am weak.

Yes there is a missing link!

My daughter and the time she should do,

There is not one day that I am not wishing this too.

For today I have to move towards tomorrow,

I have to forget any feelings of sorrow.

I have a life that is unfair,

It is not rare but the real problem is the amount of people who truly care.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness:

Once hung

Twice lived

Was that the one that chose to forgive?

Yes it was the life that continued to live.

Grief Stricken: Time Tic’s

To hurry the one you love with your own grief,

That hill isn’t so steep.

Acknowledge today for what they have done,

Of course now you have the right to step forward for your own song.

Today you should be thankful for tomorrow.

The judge is way past their own sorrow.

Time ticks.

The clock sticks….

As your time fades away… it wasn’t their time to take time away as it was time for the children to take time to play!

Feelings: Just being real!

To feel the dumps of the dumps of the extremist dumps of the thumps,

To know the deepest down triumphs of the trumps.

To find the hole beneath the bumpiest of bumps.

It’s like breathing beneath the basement in sump of a pump.

As bubbles and air compel to the stare as wicked hair strands stand up with no dare.

It is what is was and will be what it has been and

in God’s wrath most of the problematic problems should be a sin.

It is a life some that of us live,

Ninety nine percent of the time we walk away and strive to forgive.

Wrath of Life: Walking In One’s Shoes

It is a lonely dark place not to belong. The black sheep sings her song. For a moment there is peace and for the other moment there is deep grief. To understand another’s path. To truly understand the deepness of one’s wrath. It will take time to acknowledge their strife and by using compassion do not take judgment upon their life. Barbara Bloom Books

Compassion: Equal Opportunity Without Judgement

What bugs me? Self centered people who do not carry #compassion towards others. All of humanity deserves a chance especially extending to those that have an open heart and are open to change. Yes change takes a choice. It is easier to love than to hate. Life is short. You know one of the hardest parts about practicing compassionate towards others in your daily life? It is making a choice to let go of ones self centeredness. It can be a lonely path as you practice compassion for all of humanity because many do not get the concept.

To Let Go

To Let Go:

Too live, to breathe and let life sink in even when one’s thoughts are outspoken and your loved one doesn’t believe. Our first instinct is often right even if it hurts those that we love which are stuck within the darkness but optimistic enough to take a step and reach for the light.

Time passes with each turn of the tongue as life rolls right along.

We live again.

We breathe singing the same song.

Our family feels lost and it feel’s strange while holding feelings that we do not belong until another can sing our song. #Compassion #Love #Faith #Believe
