A List of Thankfulness

I have not been blogging this week but I do want to keep up on writing about things I am thankful for. This week I have been thankful for my sister-in-law Kathleen for doing so much for my family in our time of sorrow (and before) and for trying to save little Angel. Also my sister-in-law CeCe for bringing food to my parent’s house. I am so lucky to have such caring family.

I am thankful for the silliness children bring even in times of sadness. My little nephews by just being little boys running around have helped to lighten moods and make laughter acceptable during a difficult time. I am thankful for the hug-i-ness and kissiness of three-year olds – my little nephew B.Brent, though a mischievous scamp, is always ready to hug and kiss people and it is lovely.

I was thankful for the beautiful sunset last night even though my little Angel was not there with me to see it. Hopefully she was watching from heaven.

Unforgiveness

I find it hard to forgive people who are consistently insensitive and arrogant. Not to mention selfish and self-centered. That is not to say that I have never exhibited these traits but let me just say that some people really know how to make the most of their bad qualities. Must be an art to it, a way of life, or is it a sickness?

I cannot discuss specifics at this time but I do want to note this stumbling block to forgiveness. I was trying to come up with a quote that sums it all up nicely but none exists. I just felt it necessary to note that the world is full of assholes, we all know this, but it is a little hard to take when your baby niece has died while these assholes continue to exist.
