Karma....

It's kind of like the domino effect. There is a trigger and events are placed in motion which ultimately reach an end. Sometimes this is a continuous motion and sometimes it can be interrupted before completion. With an action comes a consequence. As I get older and live more life I understand this more and more. With this wisdom also comes the sadness that there are so many who don't get this. People make poor choices and when the outcome is less than they expected or not the desired result instead of looking at their role in the situation they justify the poor choice by blaming others. "Accountability" seems to be an ever growing issue. I could write a novel the thickness of War and Peace on this. My own experiences (as well as the observance of others) has taught me that whether it is now or later the choices I make will ultimately affect me.  I also know that even when I am trying to do the right thing sometimes the outcome is not always going to be what I want. All I can do is accept this and know that I can (with a clear conscience) sleep at night with the knowledge that I did my best. I have blogged about the "Golden Rule" before but it applies here as well. This is where I emphatically state that I am beyond blessed to have a husband like Chris. I have said it before and will say it again...Chris is the yin to my yang. We are the perfect balance. If I am ever in doubt about a decision he is there to check me and I him. 

Note: Misery loves company. Unhappy people want everyone around them to be unhappy. Love these people in spite of themselves. Pray for them but move on and be done.
