I must admit that in my advanced level of cynicism, I have been guilty of looking at these awards as a sort of chain letter that WordPress puts out in the blogosphere just to keep us all busy. That being said, I like this award, because I am just full enough of myself to think that I do sort live in the moment in a very real sense, and sometimes my writing does a fair job of displaying that fact. I guess I could even go so far as to say that living in the moment might be a nice way of saying that I have almost no skill at planning ahead or making those plans come to be, but let’s just ignore that for now.
The other problem is that I have been working on my ‘sharing the love’ series where I have taken it upon myself to try to direct you all to visit the blogs that I read that mean something to me. So now I am not going to put myself in the position of picking just a few of those blogs to pass this award on to. I am going to do something different.
How is that for living in the moment?
I am going to pass this award on to only one person. And that person writes a blog that I do not even follow. I don’t follow her because I can’t follower her. Her blog is too painful, too real, for me to read it every day. I go over there about once a week and hope that I do not end up wanting to kill someone… or myself.
Because she writes about abuse, and surviving abuse. And the thing is that I can’t read about some of the things that people do to children, or to people weaker than themselves, without wanting to track that person down and find a quiet room where I can spend a few quality hours letting them see what it feels like to be victimized by someone bigger than them. The anger and the rage builds up and I start shaking. It isn’t good for me.
But if you have the heart and stomach to read some very powerful words by someone who spends every day not only proving that they are strong enough to move past such a history but also spends every moment giving a place where other people who have been through such horrors can share their feelings and talk and feel safe and supported and not alone, then you should go check out my friend at;
Pouring My Art Out 
Many congratulations, PMAO, and thanks so much for the heads up on Behind The Mask Of Abuse. I will stop in, though I may be too vulnerable at times to read it thoroughly. THe example you offer of living in the moment is vital, and a lesson I still need to learn. Thanks!
Best thing about moments is you keep getting new ones… until you don’t.
You’re a good man, my friend.
Oh stop it.
and now tears, thank you.
Don’t do that.
why
Oh… I don’t know. Go ahead if it makes you feel better.
i’m good!
Yes, you are.
😉
Definitely worthy of at least this award 🙂
thank you very much
What the world… needs now… is love… sweet love…
you said it!
I did. Not first, but still.
ha! pft
yup
If you wont take my word for it…
Don’t need it on this one, but I take it on everything anyway.
Good, because all I have to give is words.
and I quote…..sigh….
hgis
Thank you so much, I’m touched and had no idea it caused you such pain. I have to admit you made me laugh all the way through this…I could give you some names and the general area they live in if you have a road trip in mind…lol
I don’t really want to go to prison, is the thing.
lol
That is a very real risk.
laughing?
no, prison. The law frowns on us doing its job for it.
oh right prison…very true, you know i’m pretty sure they are in a prison of their own, i know the father is..
I want to believe that, but people who do horrible things seem to have a way of not beating themselves up about it. That is why I wish I could do it for them.
i hear you, they live in total and complete denial. if you ever met the father, i think the first thing you would see is arrogance, if you saw behind his “charm” i don’t think it would be long before you were fixing to make a fist..lol
That is exactly what I mean.
lol, i should show you a pic of him, in a pic he looks like the kindest sweetest older man…
I never judge people by the way they look.
i can often see evil in the eyes of people who are
But not always, and those are the ones to watch out for.
yes for sure!
Dang sneaky evil people who don’t look evil and smell like sulpher.
ahaha! i know right?!
It ain’t fair.
