Why is it, that things never work out the way you plan? Whether it's bad or not, everything changes all the time. You may think something is going to happen, judging by what has happened in the past, when really, everything goes in a completely different direction.

And there is something really beautiful about that. The fact that we aren't in control.

And the biggest thing, is figuring out why something happened. Why didn't it work out? Why did it go that way, and not the other? What was I supposed to gain from that?

I'll let you in on a secret... I don't always know.

And still, I do, I must, I have to believe that events, people, places, relationships, happiness, sadness, EVERYTHING. happens for a reason.

And this is a thrill, this belief.

So I'll turn, face in the wind, feet ready to move, smiling toward the future.

It's my choice.

p.s. this week went by fast. yay!
