Could it be that, no matter which path
we chose to pursue, we might still have found the opportunity to
regret?
Whenever I'm faced with a difficult
time in my life, that voice begins echoing in my mind. You know the
one. “If you had done this, you wouldn't be here.” “If you
had done that, your life would be different.” If, if, if...
Each one filled with a false promise that could never bear up
under the weight of reality.
Today's adventure was an utter bust. I
was given gobs of misinformation, was hit on and gawked at while
desperately seeking my destination. I wasn't given any straight
answers and when I tried to rearrange my plan and make the best out
it, even my rearrangement didn't work out. Grrr!
I was irritated, to say the least. But
as I look over my day, perhaps that wasn't where I was meant to be.
Maybe I was supposed to be at home when Andy woke up in the middle of
the day, excited about his own adventures and wanting to tell me
about them. Maybe I was supposed to spend the afternoon with my
sweetheart, running silly errands, making dinner and watching a
movie.
And I wondered, what would happen if we began to view
the place where we are as the “right” place, no matter what or
where that place might be? That somehow, we managed to get there
despite all our wrong choices, whether you believe that to be through
divine intervention or dumb luck? What would change? Would we?
Those days when nothing goes as planned no matter how hard you try. That's when the self doubt and recrimination starts. Don't know why we do that to ourselves. You would think we would learn that sometimes things just don't work out and let it go. We start to over think it. I think it is about control.
ReplyDeleteI use the borax recipe. I have for along time. When I first read about it I thought it sounded crazy but I decided to give it a try and I loved it. Have used nothing else since. Give it a try if you don't like it just mark it up to an inexpensive experiment.
Fajita seasoning... sounds good, let me know if you'll like it.
Glad you liked the garden quote. I'll pass on any more I come across.
Have a wonderful week. I know you have some projects up your sleeve. Good luck xoxo.
I'll have to try the borax recipe if you think it's good. I know so many people that use it and it certainly is less expensive.
DeleteI'll let you know how we like the seasoning. I have plans to use it this Friday.
I'll be doing some construction today. ;) Girls and power tools! Exciting!
Have a great day!
