Life

Life.......Hmmmmmm
I continue to write on this subject and continue to be blown away by it's complexity.  We say what it is, we say what we want it to be, we say what it should be but what it really boils down to is each moment, each decision, each obstacle, each achievement, each joy, each loss, each disappointment......and the list goes on and on and on.

Life is a Journey.

We like to think we are in control of our destiny and each time we start feeling comfortable about life.....life  throws us a curve.  How we deal with that curve is what shows our Character, What We're Made Of.......at least so I'm told.  We're told that we should look out for numero uno.....we're told we should be there for others, we're told it's OK to try to help but being the care giver can make you co dependent, put you in a cycle that's not healthy for you.  We're told a lot of things.

It seems that what life boils down to is our choices, our decisions, our ability to cope but interestingly enough, every day is a new day and what we chose or decided or how we coped yesterday is hit with a whole lot of new circumstances that seem to change everything we learned the day before.  We think we've found all the answers or maybe at least some of them and find out those answers don't seem to apply today. Hmmmmmmmm

I know, you and I both are trying to figure out what I'm getting at.  Maybe it's that we need to learn to Remember the Past, Learn from the Mistakes but Let Go of the Regrets.  Maybe it's that we need to take this Moment and Expect the Unexpected, Enjoy the Joy, Take a Moment when the Problems come and Don't Panic but Give them Some Time.  Try to Make Changes so that those Problems or People or People's Problem Don't Rule Our Lives.  Remember that This To Shall Pass and What Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us Stronger.  Don't Take Things So Serious but Seriously Look at the Gift of Life We Are Given.  Maybe we just need to Stop.....and Live for a change....without trying to figure it all out........

I can't leave out the aspect that Life is a Physical Journey as well as a Spiritual Journey.  What we believe Spiritually can influence our Physical Life in a big way.....
So goes.....Let Go and Let God, Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and All These Things Shall Be Added Unto You.  I have learned that people who do have a Spiritual Side, a Relationship With God, With Their Higher Power do have a better sense of Purpose in Life.  I know that with all the things that life has thrown me I would not have made it without the help of My God.

So.....We Live, We Choose.....
and thus........The Journey Continues.......

I've seen & felt & known my own share of curves, thrown by the freaky-fast hands of life. Sometimes I feel like a victim to them, instead of a STUDENT of them.

Surely Life life throws us those curves for a reason, right? Surely we can't be so hideous as human beings that fate absolutely hates us, right?

So, the student in us must continue to observe, predict & learn those lessons inherent in them.

And maybe some day we will become such ninja masters of Life's fastballs, that we'll leap, twist, fly & finesse our way out of them.


Isn't it cool to think we can?

SJ!

One.
