You were talking about gratitude, and I had to laugh. I mean, for once, in a long while, it seems I don't feel the odd egg out.
You know the one soft boiled one among the hard ones?
Anyway, I don't know how many times I've uttered to myself, what the hell do these crazy christians have to be thankful for, especially after disaster? I mean what the hell?
Is it for their devotion to a being who neither cares nor exists? I'm not sure, but I am grateful that I don't live that life, though I've been told "You'd be much more peaceful than you are..."
Anyway, you nailed it when you wrote, "to me gratitude is a self adventure. I am not grateful when my whole life gets turned upside down I am grateful when I find the strength within to fix whatever I got myself into."
I'd agree completely, as my recent misadventure left me not to ponder the errors of my ways, but instead grateful to have a job, per my "after-shit measures."
Anyway, I've just begun reading, and I'm looking forward to the rest.
