We are generally so certain that we know what's best for ourselves. And we are just as often certain that what we think is best will guarantee happiness. Perhaps we should reflect on all the times in the past when our wishes didn't come true - fortunately.
Did any one of us expect to be doing today, what we each are doing? We may have expected children, a particular kind of home, a certain career, but did we really anticipate all that life has wrought? The difficulties we encountered were probably not in our pictures. But it does fit into the big picture. The happiness we experience today probably doesn't visit us in the way we anticipated a few years back. But it is measured out according to our needs. The choice to be happy with what is, is ours to make, every moment.

So true..
I've been bombarded of late
stressed out, weirded out
but then a sweet fairy comes along
reminds me
and helps me through!
Oh yes, every momnent of my life is perfectly planned, by a higher power that didn't give me a heads up before he started puttin' things in motion. So, I look at each moment as a surprise.
Peace
EXCELLENT reminder, Mel!
"Perhaps we should reflect on all the times in the past when our wishes didn't come true - fortunately."
Exactly! This is why I allow my life to create me, rather than me create my life. Because I often don't know what's best for me.
Thank you for sharing this very important reminder!
