Ramblings From An Inventive Mind.

And here we…GO

So today I watched the Presidential Inauguration. I wonder what we’re getting ourselves into with this one… Only time will tell. I know I’ll keep praying and hoping that President Obama will make the best decisions regarding our wonderful country. 

In the past, I’ve never been much into politics… rather, I’ve always had an interest but never enough to get off my ass and do something about it. Odd, coming from a military family. Not to mention my ex-fiancée is a former Marine and delves as deep into politics as he can get and still remain relatively sane. I guess being with him has rubbed the political itch off on me, so to speak. I’m not going to be blogging any of that jargon right now - I don’t want to sound like an idiot. I want to have a firm platform to stand on and right now my collective information is like Swiss cheese. 

Sometimes life throws unexpected curve balls at you. Well, I guess life always does that… that’s what makes it life, no? So strength is, in essence, how you handle these curve balls and whether or not you learn from your past mistakes. I firmly believe everything happens for a reason; not necessarily preordained, but a reason nonetheless. What can be so unequivocally frustrating is the reason isn’t always (if ever) clear. Why do some things have to happen? It seems like some choices are presented and then others thrown on top of them just to make things interesting. And all above mentioned choices are completely relevant and potentially life-changing! 

Maybe it’s not quite so complicated… Just a thought… Maybe you’re supposed to repeat a particular lesson until you actually LEARN it and CAN move on.. So the choice is there, and the education is judged by present circumstances and decisions made therein.  

That cleared up a lot. 

Finally, a semblance of peace in an overwrought mind. Maybe my daily fight to die to the old way of thinking and take up a more present-oriented structure is starting to take effect.
