My Husband’s Tumor - “I’ve seen the best in people and the worst in people”

This is a great and tantalizing quote from a great blog entitled “My Husband’s Tumor” - http://myhusbandstumor.com/

Here’s a lengthy quote from her most recent posting:

“Through the past three years, I’ve seen the best in people and the worst in people, and it’s all been a powerful mirror for self reflection.

For too long, I spent my energy on what wasn’t. On what could have or should have been, rather than what simply was. I focused immeasurable amounts of emotional energy on the wrong people and the wrong situations, assuming intent in others and defiantly asserting my own absolute correctness in every imaginary iteration of any situation.

If I was unhappy or frustrated or angry, it was certainly not my fault. No, not at all. There were six degrees of separation between me and my problems, and they all connected to someone else, something else. But definitely not me. 

People are kind, so kind it is astonishing. People are also careless and cruel and short-sighted, so much so that it’s astonishing.” 

I hope this makes you want to read more. If you do, be sure to read the page entitled http://myhusbandstumor.com/AaronsTumor

PS - I’d nominate her for being a Bad Ass Brain Tumor Blogger, but she just seems too nice and doesn’t swear enough.
