There’s been a lot of talk of Karma in bloggie land. There have been lessons about it, speaking of Karma biting you in the ass, and a prime example of Karma being the b*tch that we all know she can be. (That’s just in the blogs I read daily! I can only imagine what else is being written…)
Makes me wonder.
I have to wonder if some of the things going on in my life are Karma paying me back for something I did in the past (although one would think I’ve been paid back already for those indiscretions, incidents of poor judgment, and just plain old mistakes), if its all preparation for something amazing (because I really believe you can’t understand how good something is without knowing/ experiencing the bad), or if its just all part of Life and growing up.
i try to be a good person, do nice things for people and help out where I can. I don’t do this for the potential Karma payoff. No, I do this because it makes me feel good to be able to help and give back just a little where others have helped me in the past. So maybe I’m still working off some good Karma I’ve received? I don’t know.
I can say though, I feel like I’ve been crapped on quite a bit lately. Between some guys, some friends, and some other stuff its been a rough few weeks. I don’t want to be a Negative Nelly – because I really do count my blessings every day (wonderful friends, a job I like most days, and an amazing family) and am thankful for every new day I’m given – but in those moments of rare downtime, I do think about stuff like this and wonder.
I think its time for a dance party to cheer me up. I hope a good song comes on!

You dance your booty off! It’ll always make you feel good. Remember that crap happens and although it can make us feel less than wonderful we still have lives filled with wonderful things and that there’s always another bend in the road.

Here’s what I really think about Karma.
it’s not some outside force passing judgment on my “good” and “bad” actions. I don’t believe in any higher power passing judgment, though I do take license to joke about it on my blog.
What I think Karma really boils down to is my higher self (soul, God-self, whatever you want to call it) playing tricks on me, making this action movie I call Life seem so real. And by tricks I mean showing me how to laugh at myself and areas I could grow as a person.
I know that seems a little wacky and if you have conventional spiritual beliefs, I probably seem insane. But I did want to offer up how I see Karma. HOpe I didn’t offend.
