Blessings all around


Remember awhile ago when RantWoman's clearness committee asked RantWoman something about what she was depriving her Meeting of by keeping quiet about all her adventures with midlife vision meltdown.

Recently Worse Auntie showed up to weigh in on the question. Remember Worse Auntie? Bad Auntie sets bad examples untentionally. Worse Auntie tends to respond to eldering with a sometimes better Quakerese version of  "hell, yes I did that and here's why you should all be grateful!" Recently Worse Auntie showed up wanting to tell all and sundry that every working age adult who might ever have the opportunity to work or better yet hire a blind person should be thrilled, thrilled about the fabulous opportunities to learn from RantWoman, assuming RantWoman knows anything about developing a curriculum. If RantWoman thinks a few more nanoseconds longer, a long list might form of other things people should be thrilled, thrilled about the opportunity to learn.

Then another voice cane upon RantWoman: "RantWoman, you know that blog post you wrote about just no knowing how to handle all those blessings from the 'grab the blind person and bless them' crowd?"

"Um, RantWoman, you know that part about not knowing what to do with all thsoe blessing?  We feel a little bit the same way. We don't know how to handle all the blessings ... either."

Uhhhhhhmmm....
