Well this post is a bit of a mystery because as I'm writing this sentence I haven't a clue why I chose the word 'mystery' so what comes next is anyone's guess!
Now I'm scrambling for clues myself...perhaps if I say it out loud I might get a hint!...no it's not working so what now?
Obviously writing mysteries isn't going to be my forte and my mind is still blank....eeeeekkkkk.
Ok get a grip girl, think!!!!!..........alrighty then, here goes!
Life can be a bit of a mystery, you can think you have it all mapped out, set your goals, make your wish lists, plan your future and set about putting thoughts and plans into action.
And yet how often, just when you think everything is going to plan, does something come along that blindsides you, setting your life's journey off on some perilous and shaky direction into the unknown.
We find ourselves kicking and screaming and doing our utmost to force the issue almost demanding that we come back on track to fit in with 'our' plan. This is despite the numerous roadblocks that would normally give a rational thinking person some sort of hint of the need to change direction, shift into another gear and set sail in another direction.
Take me for instance, I'm pretty switched on most of the time, always got lots of advice for other people and yet I can be so darned obstinate when I come up against one of these fractious situations. I mean it's not like I've just had a little old idle thought and can be happy with any old outcome. Oh no, I haven't made my plans lightly, I've had a plan and I've put it into action and I expect it to turn out the way I want it to. Nothing mysterious about that now is there? It's quite simple really.
Sometimes it seems like life is like one of those magical mystery tours, never quite knowing where the journey will take me, what I might find or where it might lead me to. Mind you I'm not good with not knowing how things will turn out, I like to plan, be in control and not feel as though I'm at the mercy of well, the unknown.
To tell you the truth, in one of my more spiritual moments I can allow that to happen, just put it out there and trust in what unfolds. But if the truth be known, I'm probably not that attached to the outcome. Which of course can be a very good thing and yet when I am, then I suspect it's a much different story :)
So I guess I've still got a long way to go, I haven't quite mastered the idea of 'surrender', allowing life's mysteries to shape and mold me and to be happy and content with where my journey takes me.
I'm still hanging on, checking the map from time to time, wanting to know 'are we almost there yet' and being just a little impatient with the process that is my life unfolding.
