U is for Uncertainty.....
Again... apologies for the hiatus. Life has been crazy busy. New job that comes with new learning experiences along the way. As I head along on this journey though the alphabet, I am on the letter U. Which is a very difficult letter to match with something from my life. But alas, I settled on uncertainty.
Life can be so random at times....and so uncertain. Some days, there is so much uncertainty in my life, that I can hardly even wrap my head around it. I am uncertain where I will be in a year, much less 10. Hell, I'm even uncertain if I will make it through a week or even a day sometimes. But, because I am a firm believer in seeing the glass as half full, I stop and think about the things that are certain. Things like that I am fortunate to have a career that I love and wouldn't change for the world. I am certain that all my life experiences, the good, the bad, and the ugly, have made me a survivor and the person who I am.
As much as we would like for everything to be certain in our lives, there is a bit of excitement that comes along with uncertainty. Sure, sometimes, the uncertain things can be the things that blindside us on a random afternoon...changing our world forever. However, they can also be the things that catch us off guard in a good way. The days where we wake up board and end up having the time of our lives.
I think I'll settle on a good balance of certainty and uncertainty in my life. Variety really is the spice of life!
