Imagine That

Imagine that

Well imagine that I have a lot to tell tonight, I'm just not sure which story I should tell first.   Hmm imagine that as my youngest bother would say.  Well with that being said I guess I'll start with that. 

 My brother and I had a long conversation about family and what that means to us.  We are 14 yrs apart but we have found over the yrs that we do have very much in common.  And we also have found that some of our siblings are: well what do I say here: not so forgiving, no willing to let go, or just snobbish and think they are better than the rest of us.

 HMMMM!!!!!   Imagine that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Just so you know I come from a family of six children.  Well trying not to go into a long history some of us made it some did not the some that did are starting over, the ones that were looked up to are no longer and the ones frowned upon are not no longer: but then again: who knows????

 Oh well what we discovered in this conversation together was that you cannot ever, ever hold a grudge! It will tear you apart: I know that from personal experience, from many years ago.  I will not go into that but I will let you know if you are holding a grudge against anyone you are only hurting yourself not the person you're holding the grudge against for they do not know nor do they care!!!

 This is important: the reason I say this is that I've been there and have done that.   They do not know so they do not care, I found this out by meeting the person that I had a grudge against several years after the fact, (of the thing that caused me to have a grudges against this person) that’s when I realized she didn't have a clue that I really didn't like her or that I had a grudge against her.

 I found at that time when I saw her after so many years, that she didn't have a clue as to how I felt and she was happy to see me.  I came to realize that the wrong that she had done me (or so I thought) was not that big a deal.   Yes, maybe at the time it was a big deal, however at the time I really didn't look at her side of the story.

 Well all I have to say right now is that we need to learn to forgive people their short comings, and we need to learn how to love one another, NO MATTER WHAT!   

 I know this is hard, I know it's difficult, I also know it seems impossible:  I know I've   been there, it is hard, difficult, and almost impossible: I also know it can be done.

 Don't ever, ever give up you can do it, you can forgive, you can move on, you can have a relationship with that sibling that you never thought was possible.   It can happen.

 I just found a new relationship with my youngest brother (14 yrs apart we are) who I never thought I'd ever, ever, ever, get to know!   IMAGINE THAT!!!!!    We have found common ground and we're getting to know each other.  WHAT A WONDERFUL THING!!!!!

 So don't ever, ever, ever give up on what you think is impossible, because it is not impossible, nothing is impossible!!!!  It's just the beginning of a new day and new possibilities!!!  DON'T EVER, EVER forget that.

 Till next time, love, peace, joy and all happiness to everyone that reads this.

There is light at the end of the rainbow.
