Karma
We’re doing a lot for other people (and animals) these days. And, we really do enjoy it. It makes us feel good, useful. It’s fun working past the challenges together. And, we really wouldn’t want to do things any other way. We take it all on joyously, with a sense of humor & love, and no real expectation of anything in return.
We’re fostering puppies, loaning money, keeping kids while mom is in hospital, taking care of their dog, babysitting every day & not expecting to be paid, PTO & scout volunteering, driving people where needed, etc.
But, with Shelby struggling a bit in school, we’ve been daydreaming about putting him in a Montessori school (which, right now, we can’t afford). And, part of me says, “Hey, we’ve been doing so much - isn’t it about time that karma kicked in & we won a lottery or something?”
But, on the drive in to work this morning, which is optimum thinking time for me (second only to when I’m taking a shower), it hit me. Karma already has kicked in. In fact, it’s almost like all of this ‘doing’ is paying back for some big karmic wins that I’ve already taken advantage of.
I have the most wonderful, thoughtful, intelligent, clever, happy, healthy children in the world. I have an awesome man that I look forward to spending the rest of my life with. I have a roof over my head & food in my kitchen, that, with a little bit of creative thinking, we will continue to have. I have a bunch of goofy pets, nice friends, a big family filled with love.
And, we have enough to share our time, energy, money & space with others in need.
Still… I wouldn’t turn down a lottery win, if it came my way
