Life's Crossroads

Sometimes even the most carefully laid out plans in life bring you to crossroads you never anticipated. You can make all the right choices and be all the right things for your whole life...You can even accomplish goals in timely accurate steps. And then the curve ball of life knocks you down. And it hits you so hard when you get up you're entirely disoriented and don't know which direction to go...Or even if the one you were headed in was the right one. Were the decisions you made earlier the right ones? Are the decisions you're facing now the wrong ones? And the paradox of it all is that you bring yourself to these crossroads by the choices you made one at a time.

A Happy Little Riddle ha:)

I'm not really a riddle solver but I think I have one we all want to get our arms around...Happiness!! Isn't it something we're all chasing and something that seems to elude so many of us? I'm not so sure "happiness" is a set of circumstances or emotions that magically lines up and makes us complete. Admittedly there are temporary pleasures and things that make us feel happy for a moment, but those things (i.e. chocolate cake in my case, or the colors changing on the trees in the fall) are not sustainable. They're temporary and seasonal.

Maybe true happiness that lasts is more getting to your core and finding your way in this life. I believe we can control the temperature of our lives. Hot and happy or cold and whatever else you may think your life is right now, to every temperature in between.

Someone told me last week to make myself happy and the rest would fall into place. And though I appreciate that train of thought, I think that I need to choose to be happy no matter what does or doesn't fall into place. A deep inner contentment that comes from knowing the heart of life is good and enjoying and experiencing it fully comes pretty darn close to happiness for me.
