There are certain factors in my life that I wish were different and then I stop and think. When those circumstances change then new ones will of course evolve. There is no use in wishing certain things away, replacements await.

For example, as much as I like my job I've remained on the fence about it as I go into my second year. Today I started doing the pro and con list in my head. Mostly there are only pro reasons and then I stop and think. No matter where you work there is always something you will wish was different. Years ago I decided I wanted my own desk and a computer in the work place and that was what I got. For the next seven years I was miserable. I felt chained to the area and worse still, confined with certain people I didn't like. By the time I left the job and my desk there were so many pictures hanging up it screamed of a girl who was dying to be anywhere but there.

I guess the answer really is to just live in each day and not become a forecaster. I read something recently that said, "Pray and hope. Don't worry." That's about all anyone can do besides be grateful. Circumstances come and go and always bring lessons. Nothing and no one is ever going to be perfect. I just need to remember that things are really good right now.
