Life is what you make of it, I've heard this along with many of you but this is all dependent on if you have the right tools life gives you. For some people life gives them the tools, good health, good family, good education, the opportunities that come their way that help them proceed through life with what they need and want. For others life doesn't provide these things so what do you do, you make life with what you have, make the best out of a bad situation what I was told and still believe. As bad as life has been there's always a positive side for me, having a conversation with Hazel eyes I realize that if certain things would have been better for me I wouldn't ever been on this site and I wouldn't have met her. Sometimes bad things bring great things into life, a forest burned down by lightning is most beautiful after time passes. Love is unconditional, I have heard this and must say I don't believe this is the right statement love is different for everyone, someone's lack of affection as a child then getting it by someone could constitute love for them. Being shown caring and compassion when you never had it could be someone's thought of love, so what is love? My belief is it's many different things to all of us, a feeling of something missing when the one you love is not near, a happy feeling knowing that you are cared for by someone other than yourself ( now realize I honestly think you must love yourself before others will because negativity atracts more negatively). We must find our own definition of what love is to us and find that person who fills our reason for love to give and receive. Control is power over someone or something that affects life, love and how we can make the best out of the life we are given. For most of us we believe we are in control of our own lives but when you look at the big picture we only have some control, jobs, family, relationships, health, many of karma's little bites in the ass have shown us who's in control at times. So what do we do? We take control of the things we can at the moment not worrying about what's going to happen down the road we will deal with that bridge when we get there. So here's the update on life, love, and control with these lions, 6 weeks now Hazel eyes has been sick, my youngest child has become transgender, my parents are mad at us because we didn't tell them before they did, with Hazel not working money has gotten thin, I'm trying to sell my truck but all we get is ghosted by inconsiderate people wasting our time. The stress from all this is affecting both of us, she is ready to just give up on doctors because nobody seems to care another way others have control over your life. Now the things I have learned from my life, it will get better may take more time but someday soon. As I always told my children if you think you have it bad turn around someone behind you has it worse. I'm thankful for all we have, a loving home, food, love for each other. Oh and a positive thing happened a roofing company stopped and wanted to inspect my roof, please understand I haven't had the money to get it done, never filed a claim ever with insurance after living here 27 years. Getting a new roof, work starts this morning all covered by insurance for storm damage I didn't know about. A positive to shine light on the negative things lately. My summary life, love, control how and who you give these to depends only on you, make sure what you give you can afford to lose without it costing you everything. From the lions den we wish everyone the best our love to you all. Happy new year and may you make the best out of whatever comes along in life. Big hug to all. 💗
