"Know this: If you are following your own moral rules the very things you're ashamed of are likely the things about which you can feel most proud. Say you've battled obesity, mental illness, addiction, or abuse. Take pride in the extraordinary courage you've shown by surviving....."
- Martha Beck, life coach
...... THE BEGINNING .....
Sorry about my little rant yesterday. I just get frustrated. Another one of "US" finished yesterday. US is WE homeless. Of all of the homeless 'basket cases', in other words the mentally challenged, the alcoholics, the bashed wives, the street kids, the unemployed, the LOST, the addicts, and the rest of the 'too hard' list of society's outcasts the Government has no idea what to do with, it seems the ones that get more attention than the other classes of 'THE FORGOTTEN' are the ADDICTS, as I said most of them 'multiples' with several addictions. Another lost soul overdosing found on the streets. Oh well. Probably won't have a funeral and the State will have to pay for the burial. I knew HER from the soup kitchens. She was a nice girl but very scared of men and had a bad heroine history. She had got off the habit for a while and put on a lot of weight, which she needed to, because she was 'deathly' skinny. She stopped going to the soup kitchens for probably a year and she seemed to be going OK. I saw her in the street one day and she had some shopping and seemed healthy and straight. Then I saw her again a couple of months ago and she looked like death warmed up to make a final appearance at one of the soup kitchens. Addictions have a 'habit' of pulling you back when you are clean. That's why alcoholics who have been dry for 20 years still get up each week at their regular AA meeting and say "Hey I'm Fred..... and I'm an alcoholic". The addictions become a part of you. They NEVER leave. She died with her addictions. I hope she died in peace. Just another street statistic I suppose.......
..... THE MIDDLE .....
I don't go to the soup kitchens much any more. I already have the stories. I lived with them for over 3 years. They are not stories you ever forget. I certainly won't. My hope is to use them to help out. I HAVE THE EXPERIENCES. Now it is my duty to SHARE those experiences. But I have LIVED enough EXPERIENCES to last a lifetime. The soup kitchens are full of NEGATIVITY, as you would expect. The trouble with soup kitchens as I have said many times is that you BECOME one of patrons. You get dragged into the negativity. There comes a time when you MUST leave for your sanity's sake. You get to LIVE the stories while you go there. If you stay too long you can become a STORY, a homeless statistic, just like the girl who left us on the weekend. As you know I have seen a lot of stories and statistics in my time. I don't want to BECOME one of them........
.....THE END ??????.....
If you are suffering for some reason there is always help. Sometimes it is not where you would expect. For example if you have trouble with your addictions you need to find your Mister SomeOne Out-There. MSOT will help you find WHY you are having trouble. That's what you need to find out. WHY are you taking the drugs? You NEED to FIND YOU. You need to find the reason for your BEING. You also NEED to have MSOT tell you about "THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES" because they are so very special. See if you are lucky you will live to around 80 yo. Eighty. That's about 30,000 days. Thirty Thousand. Sounds a lot, huh?
IT'S NOT
Those kids on the street are not getting half that. They are not getting even 15,000 days and the first 5,000 are when you are a kid being brought up by Mum and Dad! It leaves you with 10,000 days if you can't handle the reality of life. THINK of EVERY SINGLE DAY with gratitude.THINK of WHY you are living each day. THINK of HOW you are living each day.
See, the world is full of over 7 Billion dots. Each and every single one of those dots has a LIFE. That's 7 billion LIVES. EACH one of those lives is equally as important as every other LIFE. They are our most important GIFT and it is up to us to honor those GIFTS with gratitude. Whether we all have 30,000 DAYS or 10,000 days is not something we are blessed to know. So EACH and EVERY DAY of our lives is as important as EACH and EVERY other day. LIVE that way. HONOR your gift with thanks. Share your LOVE around by sharing your EXPERIENCES and remember every morning when you are blessed with the GIFT of another day that EACH and EVERY SINGLE DAY that we live is THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF ALL........
