A Life Coach I know wrote a blog about the things she had done that if someone had told her that she would do them, she would have been astounded…….my life very much can relate to that feeling. …
If someone had told me I would be the first out of state teacher recruited by El Paso ISD in 1985, I would have laughed at the thought of moving so far from home.
If someone would have told me I would marry and divorce before I was 22, I surely would have thought them looney, for divorce simply didn’t happen in our family.
If someone would have told me I would have my Master’s before age 20 and then go on to teach at the university level by 23 I would have thought them simple.
If someone would have told me that a former boss could make up a ludicrous lie and get away with it enough to damage severely my career, and admit to it and yet the lie still was believed, I would have not believed you.
If someone would have told me that I would win two cars from Mary Kay and one from a radio station I would have laughed at you.
If someone would have told me that despite two divorces that I would go on to marry a third time and live a happily ever after fairy tale I would have guffed and said not likely….(God is good!)
If someone would have told me that I would ever desire to live simply, without grand parties and elegance, I would have told you I’d never care for that life, yet that is exactly the life I cherish now and live….
Life indeed brings to us so many opportunities, many of which we would not have chosen, yet in the stumbling way it comes to us, we find that the life we have is often the life we unintentionally welcomed and sometimes wanted after all….
