well…you are right for sure…all the time I wonder about this and especially now as I face 8-10 weeks of “downtime” etc…it will be interesting for sure to see where this all leads…i can say at least for now, i get the door held open for me a ton and i also get a handicap parking sticker…umm…super sweet parking i guess?
all in all, this is such a minor thing in life and it does give one perspective to be thankful that it is just my knee and only a couple of months off to explore and look at life from a different view…thanks for the inspiring reminder that life has strange ways of working…i think i’ll go to the gym now.

who would I be, where would I be if I wasn’t here right now ??? Thankfully, I can’t imagine being anywhere else, doing anything different than what I do day in and day out…..all of that for at least right now, is right !!!
you said what you said BEAUTIFULLY and since I live in MADISON WISCONSIN your post really caught my eye !!!!

i’ve read this through twice and i’m still tossing it around…very thought provoking…does it ever make sense?…does it have to make sense?…what is it within us that longs for it all to make sense?…maybe the story never takes shape and feels inevitable…maybe that’s what faith is…what is the need to make it simple all about, really…and maybe there isn’t a purpose for everything but maybe we give purpose to everything…those are just some of the questions this post stirred for me…and a LOVE a post that leaves me thinking….

It is so interesting that you write this today although I can’t say surprising. I was watching a story on 60 minutes last night about women in the Congo and how they are treated (raped, beaten) and yet they still get up and move on to the next day. As I watched this story with tears forming in my eyes, I wondered how did they get the life they have and I have this life…with all of my blessings. What did I do SO different that I’m here and they are there? Was it something in a previous life? OR is this just where I’m supposed to be and that’s where they are supposed to be? I think it could make me crazy if I thought about it too much! Thanks for writing this today my dear. xoxo melissa
ps. love the ring!

i do believe, on occasion when i take the time to contemplate it, that i am living the life i am supposed to live…it is during those uncomfprtable, trying times that i wish to believe something different or manifest something different…yet i am here, alive and doing what i love…so it must be right…i know we are on parallel paths at this time also…blessings, rebecca

That was beautifully stated.

If we don’t believe, at least to an extend, that there is a higher purpose behind the things that happen throughout our lives, we would no doubt drive ourselves crazy with the “what if’s” and the “should have’s, could have’s.” I do believe in the higher purpose whenever I have done the best I could in a given situation; if the outcome is as desired, then I am deliriously happy and proud, if it isn’t then I can shrug it off quite easily as “it wasn’t meant to be.” Which is a much better place to decide from whether I then want to try it again, or refocus.
However, it is when I feel that I have NOT given it my best that I feel regrets and misgivings. And wonder whether my life could have taken a different direction had I done this or that. But maybe even this is all part of the “bigger plan?”
There is certainly comfort in believing that we are, indeed, creating our very best story. With all its imperfections and ups and downs. Like the perfect landscape that rises against the horizon with clear and well defined lines, yet when you look closer you see all its deep crevices and uneven surfaces that have weathered many storms, as well as the flowers greeting the sunshine every spring without fail, and the peaks from where the view is wide and breathtaking.
