Amazing and happy endings.

I’m amazed. Amazed that more people don’t consider themselves amazing. Because they lack self-confidence. Self-esteem. But I see them doing amazing things. Daily. Such as giving loving care to their loved ones. Alzheimer patients. Sometimes, I criticize them. For allowing themselves to become beleaguered. For trying to do too much. For trying to become saints. And not learning to pull back. To be realistic. To get proper respite. To take care of themselves. So that they can adequately care for others. So I call them out for that. For being too close to the forest to see the trees. They have to learn to pull back. And some of ‘em don’t. Which is sad. But others do see the light. They accept their situations. And handle them wisely. Adeptly. And they become the amazing ones. Which usually makes for amazing and happy endings. –Jim Broede
