Recently, one of my neighbors who I have really been trying to give UNCONDITIONAL LOVE to  has started testing my patience and tolerance again.

I always have the intention of  sustaining my ability to love people into or out of my life. Unable to find anything to bother him, he has now started to test me by being rude, insensitive, and downright racist with the children who visit me and are under my care.  So I ask my self, what should I do.

1)  Should I go off and meet him where he is …In ignorance ?
2)  Should I tell the girls to curse him out as he has done to them ?
3)  Should I send him a letter from the home owners association members ?
4)  Should I just leave it alone…. ?

I realize he is an old man, unhappy, lonely, and has a potty mouth.  So after meditating on it…I have come to one of the crossroads moves that i usually make.

I ask Myself 2 things:

What is the lesson and blessing of this challenge?

The lesson is to know that even though I have given him holiday gifts, little tokens of appreciation when he opens the laundry  room for me, I have helped him with information that he needed and could not figure out..on a number of things……I realize he is still a mean-spirited, nasty, racist, argumentative, bored 72 year-old  lonely old man and will probably never change.

The BLESSING is that I am able to understand what he is, who he is and he cannot make me come to be what he wants me to be.

I sat down with him talked to him and let him know that if he is upset about anything in his life he is old enough to know that picking and bullying people cannot solve anything or he can choose to be civil…if he wants to live in a world where Karma and divine Justice does reign.  If he wants to be left alone he can continue to be the same way.

If he really wants to have people’s attention he could approach it differently…not as an angry old man. I further went on to tell him that anything he has to say to or about my guests in future he should not curse them out but to intelligently come to me who is the owner of this property and not to harass my guests.

He of course said…he was not cussing them and he spoke in a low voice…he forgot he cursed me out last year about something that he was of course wrong about.

WHY AM I MAKING THIS A MEANINGFUL MONDAY…well it happened on a Monday(smile) and my lesson for the week is PRACTICE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

Send Yemonja (blue light ) loving energy to those who perhaps don’t even care about, love, or appreciate you.

Have a Magnificent Monday!!
