Looking forward...
Fair day, all.
Many thanks to those of you who have patiently waited for us to move and set up the Lair. The past year has been one of many trials, but no' one without some blessings, as well. As we move into 2006 'tis my fervent hope that all of you, our visitors, as well as our own, will prosper in health and well-being. While life is a series of trials (and no one is exempt), for the most part we have it within our own power to achieve a state of contentment, if no' happiness.
While I have no' ever been one to make what is known as New Year's Resolutions, I do look upon the beginning of a new year as such; a new beginning. 'Tis a time for looking forward. For to look ahead is to believe in renewal, as it were, to accept that what 'was' is done. If one cleaves to the ideal that 'For all things there is purpose, and a purpose for all things' then belief in such would preclude the need to look back and dwell upon those things one could no' change.
However, 'tis human nature which lends some the desire to attempt to rectify certain things in life; even those that obviously can no' be rectified. At this point some of you may be thinking of the old standard 'If at first you don't succeed, try try...' Aye, but how many times must one try before the futility of the trying sinks in? I am speaking of common sense. 'Tis nothing extraordinary (although I have noticed it appears to be in short supply), for one only has to 'see' what is right before one's eyes. Actually, 'tis more the accepting of what one sees... But you get the point, non?
I have studiously avoided putting this particular post into e-mail form for this purpose: 'tis very difficult to remain non-judgemental and that, without blasting certain folks who contiuously flood my mail-box with their why me, poor me, oh woe is me, complaints. Mind you, I do no' mind giving one a nudge in the general direction of 'get off the pity train at the next stop' or 'jump now', but when I get a steady flood of the same old stuff from the same people, well...
Generally speaking, no one of us is guaranteed what we 'want' from life. The only guarantee is this; whatever tools one is birthed with, each of us has the right to use those tools in the proper pursuit of our destiny. If one chooses to use those tools for naught, or no' to use them at all, 'tis as 'twill be. For those who need a simplification; the tools I speak of are no' the use of one's looks/body to entice/trap another; the use of one's brain to demean another's intelligence; use of one's financial gain to hold oneself above others less fortunate, to buy what was never meant to be bought, etc... I truly hope you get the point.
Now, wanting to 'be'... Simple, that one. You are who you are. Your destiny is written. Certainly, anyone can skew their own destiny but why would you? To skew your destiny is, bluntly, to screw yourself. Ponder, and Blessings Upon All, Dream Teller.
