Funny how sometimes you think you have it all figured out (speaking for myself that is)...it’s all settled…everything is flowing in the right direction then you’re reminded each day is an opportunity for growth and change (by good and bad means)...maybe life is still flowing, but it changes directions, obstacles are put in place to keep you alert…

I’m amazed that I can still be caught off guard. BUT I think knowing myself better (better now compared to 5 or so years ago) helps me steady myself and focus and decide what really is about me and what I can change (or at least work on) and what I have no control over at all and just need to allow it to be. So I guess with each surprise, each moment that catches me off guard is a learning process and allows me to be better prepared in the future…because there will always be moments that shock me and I guess that is a good thing…in a way.

Ramble ramble ramble.
