Have you ever found yourself lost in thought about your own life? Maybe if one decision had been different, one movement different, how things may have been?
Not regret ... no, I don't live my life by regrets. I try very hard to think things through throughly before I come to any decisions.
This week, as I was lying in bed one morning before the alarm went off, I was thinking about people I've dated. Given that I've written a few days ago that I wish I had someone in my life, this was something of an extension of that thought.
Distance and time away from a situation can often bring to light details which weren't quite there initially.
Thinking about those I've dated since my divorce, many of the guys have been a mistake from day one. They didn't fit my criteria of what I want -- they were, for lack of more pleasant terms, convenient. Now remember, I said MANY not ALL.
If there is ever a bible verse appropriate to these thoughts it is: "for everything there is a season." Some were right for a season -- and some were entirely wrong for a season.
The right ones -- I'm glad we dated. The wrong ones -- I'm glad we dated. If for nothing else, sometimes the wrong thing is just the right lesson. Lesson learned: Keep your eye on the prize. I won't name the right or wrong ones ... those things are best kept close to the vest.
With eyes firmly fixed on the prize -- I go forth.
