As we were talking about the adventure one evening I realized that this is a parable on life. I have a plan but sometimes things happen and it's my job to make the best of those hurdles that are placed before me, not to immediately see them as roadblocks and that the Universe is conspiring against me personally.
It's just life and we each have a choice in how we approach it.
And now I know that I have the ability, the strength, the depth of character to create the life I want, not play the victim and rail against what others, or life in general, have done to me.
It is a gift.
And if I can change, anyone can.
Thank you Bug, I needed to read this today. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you.
I have been seeing things the same way and it is surprising what you can let go when you don't view things in the negative. I am no where near your state of mind Bug and the peace you've achieved it like to think I am on my way. Thanks for your posts and replies.
I too have let a lot go and validate where my kids are concerned. It really changes the dynamic doesn't it?
Hey Ruby, I think we need to put you on cell phone restrictions!
BK, forgiveness is an awesome thing. I've read other stories similar to that and have wondered what my reaction would be. How do people find it within them to forgive on that level?
Next month will be the 3rd anniversary of my mother's death and these last 3 years have been about me learning to forgive her. I feel that I'm almost there because I can see that she was a flawed being doing the best with what she had. She was not purely mean, she had both good and bad as we all do.
It's a complicated thing but I'm getting there.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
