I had a similar experience. I'm almost a full blown control freak. On a scale of 1-10 I'm a 9. Okay, 9.7. It is really hard for me to not be in control. People expect me to be in control or in charge or making the decision or the one who will figure it out. Bucket list was to sky dive. So, I did it. It was a tandem jump in which a little man was strapped to my back and controlled my every move. I probably had him by 6" and 20lbs but while in the little plane I paid to be on opened it's doors, there I was, completely out of control. That little man rocked my butt right out the door (as if I paid him to do this!) and I was aghast. I had NO control. NONE. First time in my life that I had NO control. NO choices. NO input. Those ships had sailed. I had a choice - enjoy or try and control. If I would have taken control I would have died. So in order to live, I had to give up control which was totally against my inner being. Imagine that life lesson as you are screaming towards the Earth. Every now and again when I'm all worked up over something I remember that. I throw my arms up and just enjoy the ride. It isn't easy but sometimes you have to just enjoy the scenery, feel the wind in your hair and trust the little man strapped to your back. That is amazing! Better you than me my friend! But yes! Same lesson! |

I lost my fiance 4 months before our wedding, my Mom told me I wouldn't find anyone as good as he was. I was 20 years old at that time, it felt like my world crashed before me. That was 41 years ago, two years later I met my soulmate and we were married almost 24 years when he passed away 14 years ago. After both of these wonderful men left my life I felt God put me on a rollercoaster. Life is the biggest rollercoaster ride ever the highs can be so enormous (the birth of my grandson) and the lows so deep (not having that one person who always has your back). But I wouldn't miss the ride, because the highs are so glorious.

My husband of 24 years died a year ago. And what I'm reading in your post is that yes, sometimes life sucks but life is still worth living out loud, there is still good ahead. Thank you. |
