Dumb Human

Dumb Human

We can't get ahead because we can't get out of our own way. It isn't that difficult people, it's just life!

Sometimes I hate being a dumb human. Really.

I can imagine a whole other dimension of those that have gone before us watching our progress. You know they've got to be shaking their heads.

Here's one for the universe:
There are people who claim that thoughts will become things.
I have some weird-ass thoughts occasionally.
How then can the universe differentiate what is a thought that could be manifested, say like that great new life where I am rich and famous, from that thought that the something who lives under my bed is ready to grab my feet if they aren't under the covers?
Huh?

Why Are You Still Looking For Your Life's Purpose?

Why Are You Still Looking For Your Life's Purpose?

My daughter and kids (Dani 16, Tyler 15 and Kylie 11) recently moved away from the only town they have known as home for the last 10 years, in Wilmington NC. My daughter got a great job in Charleston SC, about 3-1/2 hours south. Off they went.

In life, you must always consider the consequences.

Following is the conversation I had with my 16-year-old granddaughter this evening. She was the most enthusiastic about moving, but once it was a fait accompli, well, life happened.

Me: It's NayNay, how are you?

Dani: Adjusting

Me: Adjusting means you are not happy.

Dani: It's just hard to move into a school year junior year and know no one. Mom doesn't quite understand that. I definitely miss home a lot.

Me: It doesn't seem like such a big deal until you realize that that part of your life is over. And then you get scared.

Dani: Yeah, it's slowly hitting me, and all my friends at home doing fun things, I'm here doing nothing, knowing no one.

Me: One thing I can tell you that helps me when I get where you are now is that you are where you are supposed to be for now until it changes again.

Dani: That's true, I know it'll get better.

Me: Never get too attached to anything because life changes every minute. Enjoy where you are now. That's all you have. You will meet new people and start a different life. It's hard but you do this over and over again for the rest of your life. Every so often life changes, my every so often is 10 years. Love you. Always here if you want to talk.

Dani: I know, thank you. Love you too.

So why am I still trying to find my life purpose?

DUH!
