Ah, you gotta love it when karma actually kicks in so quickly…

Nerine, I think that’s what karma is. I don’t think it’s a doctrine or religion or anything but I think it follows the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Thanks for stopping by!

Ah, Karma. Although I don’t believe in it, I do think you tend to draw bad stuff if you behave in a certain way. Or rather, if you have a positive outlook, the bad stuff won’t cling to you the same way it does to folk who are full of it.

I feel the same way you do. My grandfather on my father’s side was very wealthy. He used to say that he bet I was just waiting for him to die. I told him that I wanted him to keep spending it because as long as he did, that meant he was alive. He did leave each grandchild a small amount of money upon his death, but, honestly, we were five days away from celebrating his 95th birthday. While I appreciated the money, I’d have rather celebrated his birthday.

Wow, Marci. I hate to read that about your grandmother. People go crazy after deaths. When my grandfather died most of my aunts and uncles hovered. My grandmother was still alive. I bet they fought for five years up until the day she died and then the *** hit the fan. I tell my parents to spend it and have fun. If everyone did that we wouldn’t have these worries. Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Cassie! So glad you stopped by. Reap what you sow- another great saying…

I’m a firm believer in karma. You reap what you sow. Great blog.

My grandmother was married to my step-grandfather for 30+ years. He never changed his will, but supposedly, his daughter had agreed to allow my grandmother to live in his house for as long as she wanted should he die before my grandmother. (BTW, my grandmother had put $20K of her own money into that house.) So, my step-grandfather died. What do you think his daughter did almost immediately? They came in, her husband took his suits, and they kicked my grandmother out. Now, my grandmother could have contested the will, but she didn’t. So, she struggled monetarily for the rest of her life. The daughter claimed they needed it for her children’s college fund, and then they went out and bought a huge house, a new car, etc. Our family was outraged, but could do nothing if my grandmother refused. We did help support her, though, until her death. A few years later, we found out that the daughter had a rare disease and that she had gone completely blind. She was only in her 40s. I think other things happened to her as well.

My grandmother was the only grandmother that woman’s children had. After my step-grandfather’s death, the daughter didn’t allow them to see her anymore.

It’s amazing what greed does to people.

BTW, if you want a good example of karma, just look at the Kennedys. Joe Kennedy, the patriarch and one who amassed their original fortune, gained his money through illegal means. Let’s just say he wasn’t a nice man. Rose and Joe had eight children. Two were assassinated, and a variety of tragedies has struck the family. Once again, karma at work.

You’re so welcome, Lisa. And my hubby totally agrees with you on that one. After this incident we talked and he said every person who had done something majorly wrong to him had something bad happen to them. I don’t want bad things to happen to anyone- especially major bad things, but hey, karma doesn’t discriminate!

I sooo believe in the saying “what goes around, comes around.”
Why should anyone ever seek out revenge when fate does it so nicely. Your karmic experience is exactly why I try to treat people the way I’d like to be treated. Thanks Kissa!!
