My friend told me today that there are no mistakes in life, just lessons to be learned. "Well said", I told her. "But why do you feel the need to repeat the same lesson you learned last year?"
I now notice the patterns that we all repeat. Of course we expect different results. When things go wrong for me I often feel like they should not have. That the horrible circumstances that ensued defied all logic. "How could this happen?" As if to say that stove didn't look hot. It can't be hot every time. Can it?
Patterns are hard to break too. We are creatures of habit as they say. We like to play our roles. Well I have decided that I am horribly miscast. And I am not going to be left back a year like my friend. I'm moving on up...Weezie.
