New to this....

Let's see.... I'm new to this, not really even sure what writing a blog is really all about.  I assume that it can be taken in many directions - Fact, fiction, fantasy.  Which fits me perfectly since my mind takes me in many directions! I find myself constantly thinking and I figure, if I can jot some of this nonsense down... possibly I can relax a little before TRYING - yes, trying to get some sleep. 

 
I found myself wondering today, that if I had a chance to rewind to anytime in my life, where and when would I want to go? I guess, somewhat of a "Quantum Leap" theory.  Honestly, I couldn't remember a time in my life that I was actually "happy" or feeling "content" - how sad is that?! So then, I thought, where in my life would I have chosen to take the right of the path instead of the left....? Hear me out.  I believe that we all have a map. A map of our lives if you will.  And the challenges that make us choose are the trial and tribulation for that particular choice. 
  • What do we take away from that particular experience? 
  • How can we use it later?
  • Where does it appear again? 
  • What was the lesson?
I guess that is why the older we become, the "wiser" we are.  I then realized, that I can't change anything. Unfortunate? Possibly. I start to wonder on how many of us can accept the things or thoughts that cannot be undone. Can one move forward without thinking of it again or is it a hindrance - "woulda, shoulda, coulda".  Wouldn't it be SPECTACULAR if a hyptnotist could just wipe out all the bad memories? people? The things that give you that hollow pit feeling in your stomach when it pops into your mind?  Would you take that pill if it was offered???? OR do you believe that those things are what built you to be stronger?  Good question right? 

 
All I know is that to reflect can help us to rebuild.  It can remind us of who we are and what we can strive to be..... still not content, but still worth fighting!
