Get Back, Honky Cat

This morning I woke up at 9:30 and groggily made my way into the bathroom. One of the first things I noticed, was a large spider crawling up the shower wall. I'm not really afraid of spiders, I'm just afraid of killing them, so I decided I would go get my brother to kill it after I put my contacts in. I turned to the sink to do so, and thirty seconds later when I turned around, the spider was GONE.

And by gone I mean, poof! Disappeared without a trace.

I searched high and low for that spider. I mean, I really needed to take a shower, and I wasn't about to have some long legged brown spider surprising me by crawling next to my arm. It was seriously gone. I haven't seen it since.

Anyway, it got me thinking, you know, about life. Which I do a lot.

Where could it have gone? It just seems strange that it could get away that fast. And a little scary. But maybe it really did disappear! Maybe someone was looking out for me, and realized that I needed to shower so I could be on time for church, and waiting for my brother to kill a spider would really put me behind schedule. So poof! Spider gone, like it never existed.

And you know, how many times do things like that happen during the day? A little tender mercy. You don't even realize what is happening at the time, but later it hits you that if that moment hadn't happened, your day would have changed drastically.

Today my sister said, "Do you ever wish you could stop thinking? Like wishing you had done things differently, or said something at that moment, or not done something when you did..." And I said, "Every time I start thinking something like that, I remind myself that I am where I am for a reason. I didn't say that for a reason. I did that for a reason." She went back to texting some boys.

The point I am trying to get at is, you should try to stay positive, because if not, you might remember that there is a large spider on the loose.

p.s. no regrets. just love.
