You know what the odd thing is about seeing blessings? There are many people who feel pity for me, and think I have such a horrible life (poverty, chronic pain, death of hubby, etc). I feel like one of the luckiest people in the world 
!
Everyone has challenges to overcome. That's life and in my opinion, it's also karma. But I have a roof over my head, food to eat,live in a lovely little flat mere footsteps from the beach, have a lovely cat filled with love, a computer, this forum and the lovely people who 'live' here, and SO much more.
MILLIONS of people don't even have clean water to drink, and I should feel sorry for myself, like I got a 'bum rap'? Not bloody likely! The ones that pity me are the ones I feel sorry for, because they are completely blind to the blessings that happen to them everyday. Like right now...when I was typing my 'spell' post, I thought I heard a tap at my door, but thought it was just someone closing their door. I opened the door and there was a large, dead 'mystery plant' with giant bulbs on my door mat. To me, that is better than getting a birthday present. It's a blessing, a chance to once again bring life to a dead plant, and a very touching act of kindness from a complete stranger. And the fact that the 'leave garden lady your bulbs' somehow passed on to the new people in the building (there are 23 suites, and 11 people moved in between last August and now!) totally blows me away.
OH...and I have those 4 giant bulbs that someone left me months ago. Hosta flowers! Yesterday morning I was filling a long window planter with soil for them, and just stuck them on top, by night fall when I took them off, one of them had grown a root, and the soil was dry. Looks like it's not going to be hard to grow them!! I can't WAIT to see what the flowers look like as I've only seen a small ink illustration, and even that looked stunning! Sorry for rambling again...I've obviously had my super strong, morning tea.
It kind of saddens me when people are so startled by the smallest acts of kindness I do. Like if I have about 15 things in my shopping basket and the person or persons behind me only have a couple of things, I pick up my cart and stand behind them saying "Go on, I'm not in a rush" They look at me like I just gave them a lottery ticket or something, and are so appreciative. Same thing with cashiers. I notice that people tend to just dump there stuff on the counter and stare into space while the cashier dose their work, instead of saying 'Hello' or even smiling. Yesterday I bought a 'green' giant bag on wheels, like a bundle buggy, but made of completely recycled cloth, that is super strong, but unlike the metal ones, so light, I can pick it up with my pinky finger. It's much better for my back than lugging around a knap sack filled with 30 pounds of groceries. But the cashier forgot to charge me for it and I was in such a 'happy cloud', I didn't notice either.
So I brought it back, and bought the seeds for the spell, and put a little note on the thing that said 'item not paid for'. When I showed it to the cashier, she was so shocked at my honesty, she shouted about it to the next cashier, and the message went down to the one at the very end
. Then I heard about 20 minutes of insane shoplifting stories...soo sad
.
I truly wish more people would see all of the blessings they have to be thankful for the way you and I do.
Apologies once again for rambling. I'm hopped up on caffeine and in a REALLY happy mood (which makes me very chatty)
