Stuck in a gray area...

Posted Friday, May 02, 2008 1:28 PM

I am officially boring today... I have nothing new to report on in my life. I am stuck in this gray area that prevents me from both moving forward or going back. This applies to my job (although I am content with this), hubby's new business, the selling of the condo, the buying of a future house and possible plans for TTC.

In waiting for this time of being stuck in gray to pass, i have been thinking a lot about how different my life could have, would have been had i taken different paths...

For example, what if i hadn't become a designer... i've always loved animals, and for a while thought about becoming a vet. or what if i had continued with dance, gymnastics, karate, piano lessons... would i be a superstar in that area? or what if i was never adopted? i would be living in korea doing who even knows what? what if i never had that fight with j, i would have never hooked up with rob and subsequently married him... who would i be with? what if i had stayed with x, y, or z ex-boyfriends years ago? would i have had children by now?

I guess when it comes down to it, i truly believe that everything happens for a reason. i think God does have a master plan for us all, and although i sometimes lose faith in Him when things aren't going the way i think they should be, i just need to relax and maybe take time to try to enjoy being in this gray area... who knows maybe if i stop and look around long enough i might appreciate the break from the furious pace of life. maybe the famous phrase of its about the journey, not the destination has some truth to it?

re: Stuck in a gray area...

When I was dating Matt, I had previously dated the validictorian at my high school.  My Mom would always say, you could still be with A.  I took pleasure in telling my Mom that Andrew dropped out of college and is hugely messed up with drugs.  Her comments were, think of what would have happened if you would have stayed to be a positive influence in his life.  I can never win.
