I should know by now - speculating only leads to trouble. I think it's the enemy's primary tactic for tripping me up. He takes one tidbit of information, blows it completely out of proportion and before I know it, I'm in a tailspin, convinced I'm not worthy, not up to snuff, oh-so-replaceable, second best - well, you probably get the picture.
It is dangerous to base decisions or even attitudes on one minute piece of data. And yet, I do. There have been a couple times (okay, more than just a couple) I have thought I was "safe" in a situation only to have it totally blow up in my face. Ouch. Yeah. So, I tend to follow the mantra 'prepare for the worst, hope for the best.' It doesn't always work. Sometimes all I seem to get is the worst and the best seems to pass me by.
Yeah, I know, sometimes I write rather cryptically. You probably have no clue where this is coming from or where it's going. Just remember, it's my blog, my outlet, my catharsis. Look at is as a game; maybe you can figure it out. Maybe you can figure me out! If you do, please feel free to clue me in!
I like looking at it as a game. I'd like to figure you out. I hope you don't feel guilty about claiming it as your blog; it's very definitely yours, and watching it is engaging and enriching, no matter.
