The first part of this blog is a little sad and even gruesome, I warn you, but keep reading and I will reward you with places to find comfort during times of weakness.
Recently I had “one of those days”. I am sure you can relate: You think God has shined down his hatred laser beam upon you. You can’t find your keys, cell phone, car, or your mind.
Or even worse... a potential love told you that it won’t work out long term.
Well, I had one of those days recently. I sat and groveled, felt sorry for myself, and wished that I never stepped out of my mother’s womb.
After browsing the internet, I ran across an article. It was about a woman who had a face transplant after being shot point blank by her husband. The woman is Connie Culp, who was a very attractive woman before turning into a frightful “monster” . Her nose had been shattered and 80% of her face needed replacement.
The doctors used a combination of a donated deceased woman's face and Connie’s cheekbones and legbones to reconstruct her face. Even though she appears like a stretched cartoon character, she was laughing and thankful that she HAD A NOSE.
Sitting there stunned, I walked away touched by this woman, who is now devoting her life to help other disfigured people.
How ungrateful I have been.
**So here it is, your reward.** I give you some wonderful places you can retreat to, when you feel like your sky is falling and God’s hatred beam has drilled a hole through your head:
Berkeley Rose Garden
Botanical Gardens in San Francisco
Shoreline Lake in Mountain View
