And free...Time turned the pages, I was single again<br />And freedom not so great as I thought it had been.<br />When it’s over, I wonder, on that final day<br />Will I have lived my life, or just wished it away?<br /><br />One ponders over what and how the journey might have been! It certainly makes one treasure and appreciate having been able to get a better deal after observing what others had experienced!<br /><br />Hankkaykualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240206222973305395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156773205591631053.post-86220335876640694102017-05-08T06:50:54.449-07:002017-05-08T06:50:54.449-07:00Tremendous wisdom in this piece!

I had a habit of "waiting" for something to happen(a down payment for a house, a child to be born, the children to be on their own, etc., etc.) I have had to remind myself that you diminish the joy of where you are at - in any given moment - by wishing and waiting for something else. Great capture! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Wendy Bourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475940407969993348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156773205591631053.post-28723711996359863592017-05-07T17:20:56.243-07:002017-05-07T17:20:56.243-07:00the thing about wishing is the tentacles it sprout...the thing about wishing is the tentacles it sprouts, then you have the tasks of accepting, thanksgiving, applying and so forth, and yes definitely contemplation.

And it once there we discover that our wishes were not as wonderful as we believed them to be, there isn't always a way to go back. Careful what you wish for, indeed...
