It was a rough few days. Karma definitely got me back for my (very wrong!) pleasure in another's misery. At first it seemed I would escape any harm. Things were falling in place.
And then it all unraveled in a most demoralizing, crushing, non-stop train wreck.
I thought that surely I would sleep and it would improve the next day.
Nope.
But after work yesterday I stopped in at the library to pick up my Jack Reacher book (excellent series by the way--can be read out of order but OCD demands I read it in order). And I got a surprise at the checkout desk. Mat Kearney's newest CD came in for me. I can't remember how I found his music but I am a fan. And his latest CD has the incredibly catchy "Hey Mama" as the first release. Love!
I am pretty sure that Karma has taken a turn for the better.

Karma
My mom hates when I call out "karma" when the kids get what they have coming to them. She's probably right on it too. After all, she's been right about an awful lot of things over the years.
But I firmly believe that what goes around comes around. You treat others with kindness, you get kindness in return. You treat others poorly, that's what comes back on you.
Sometimes karma is just downright hilarious though. Of course I realize that just by saying it out loud I am setting myself up for some snap of karma. But when you see someone who believes she is superior intellect and better at pretty much everything and she lords it over others and she gets called out on it. . .well. . .it's just really tough to not sit back and smile over it.
Petty? Yes, I'm sure it is. Say something is lacking in my character? Yes, I'm sure it does.
But I cannot help it. Right now I am just feeling like someone else finally got what was coming to her for years of being "better than" the rest of us. Sadly I know it won't have any lasting effect in how she behaves. But for a moment, she had to feel the way the rest of us often do at her hand.
