Eternal optimist in a crappy situation
do the blessings in my life make it hard for me to deal with the sorrows in my life? I am an eternal optimist. I am a glass half full ALL the time person. I am determined to always find the positive in all things even when in reality there is not a positive. You come to me with a complaint and I will find the good even when you don't want me to. I will complain for 30 minutes about something until you agree with me and then I will tell you that it isn't that bad and give you a list of the positive things about the crappy situations...annoying right???
Why do I have a hard time calling a spade a spade? Why can't I let a sorry be a sorrow? why do I have a hard time letting tears be tears and recognizing those are giving by God also? I feel guilty about receiving blessings and 10X more guilty when I complaining about a sorrow.
I have to figure out how to lay them all at the cross. He wants my praises and my tears. They are there and sometimes they are justified. I don't need to wallow in them but sometimes I need to call a spade a spade and recognize a crappy situation for what it is...a crappy situation.
And this to shall pass. And who cares if there is not lesson. I will chalk it up to a season of sorrow and annoyance with blessings and laughter thrown in...so I'll laugh when I can and cry when I need to.. and God is OK with that and wants them both.
