Fracas’ The Monday Melee for July 9, 2007

As with the last few weeks’ Melees, I’m going to be like so many of the other Monday Melee’ers and be creative with it while still answering the same questions. Because I’ve just written a post about some friends whose daughter is struggling with illness, I can’t begin to let myself whine about anything today. Therefore, my Melee today will only answer questions in a positive light. 

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate love.
I love how most people will come together and try do what’s right, good and of need to someone else who is going through something terrible.  

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus true, honest and good.
I am going to “expose” family as something true, honest and good. Keep in mind, that when I say family… I mean family when family functions as families are meant. Sometimes that doesn’t mean genetics and blood, but people who are family because they choose to and act like family. Whichever kind one has, when one has it… it is truly, very good.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.
I’m happy that my needs in life are met. I will try be less fretful during times when my wants have to wait.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.
I’m obviously giving credit to brahnamin, skywindows, Ambriel and her siblings . There’s just no way any family should have to go through what they’re going through even once… let alone on an ongoing basis. Their family shows such love and dedication, and Ambriel shows such courage and bravery that they outpace anyone else I could possibly think of today.

On Ambriel’s site is a quote that says it all.

“They took the bone from my body, but it has been replaced with the love of my family and friends… I am not missing anything…” ~Ambriel, Nov. 2006

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it
I think I have my “shit” together. That’s important.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.
I wish I could make things better for the people in my life who suffer in various ways.
