ON THE BACK BURNER

When Bob was recovering at the Rehab place, he had a room mate. (Not me) The room mate sneezed and I said "God Bless You". His answer, "He already did".Don't you just love that. I am going to use that line instead of saying,"Thank you." I was fast forward reading "Life's Daily Blessings." I get so behind, that I thought I could read ahead and not feel guilty about not being on the right reading for the right day. I found some really interesting remarks. Like this Yiddish proverb,"Where there is smoke, there is smoke". Interpretation:Sometime what we see, is what is there.Just deal with it. Good advice. Then there is: "The most beautiful thing one can do is forgive a wrong." I forgive easily. I remember what I perceive as a wrong, but I pretend that I forget it. It's better this way, It's too much of a burden not to forgive.(Remember, I remember) Here is the best:"Love tastes sweet but only with bread". I needed help with this one. But now that I know the thought process, it makes sense. It is hard to love when you are struggling to survive. Pass the bread,my sugar is sitting next to me.
