"Tall Glass of Something"

Have you ever poured yourself into a "Tall Glass of Something" only to later discover that that "Tall Glass of Something" was cracked?

Speaking from experience, I know there were times that I can recall in which I did just that. I poured myself into a "Tall Glass of Something" only to find out that that glass was cracked, still half empty or not even CLOSE to not being filled, but FULFILLED!

No matter what I thought, what I tried to do or how I maintained an optimistic outlook on what was happening right before my eyes, that "Tall Glass of Something" was just not the right beverage for my consumption.

There were times that as soon as I tasted it, I knew, but I thought that I could disguise it by adding some sugar, sweeten it up and make my taste buds COMPLY with my self-imposed mandatory thoughts of disillusioned happiness. And THERE is exactly where I went and continued to go wrong.

My Mother used to warn me about APPEARANCES! "Believe none of what you hear and only HALF of what you see Corey. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck!"

Yet I continued in my attempts at refilling an unfillable "Tall Glass of Something," only to the detriment of my psychological landscape. In other words, it was driving me crazy and only too happy at my participation in my own demise!

The beauty of now being on the OUTSIDE looking in is the fact that my view is now unobstructed and all pertinent objects are in plain, visible sight.

So, that "Tall Glass of Something" had and served a worthy purpose in my LIFE. It never quite quenched my thirst, but it taught me how to savor what WAS good and satisfying to my tastebuds. Now I am conscious of what I pour myself into and should it be a "Tall Glass of Something," it will undoubtedly be irresistibly quenching to my soul.

Perhaps to this day, that is why I request a straw with my beverages. This way, I take my time, one sip, one swig at a time and THIS time around appreciate the RIGHT beverage that FULFILLS my "Tall Glass of Something."

Let your "Tall Glass of Something" be FULFILLING to you as well. One sip, one swig at a time.

Be Blessed!

Love and My Mother are the Inspiration!

Love and My Mother are the Celebration!

All the Best, All the Time!
