 Mr Contrary And A Lucky Life |
||
|
On Friday evening we went to see some of Katie's old school-friends and their parents. Over a few beers and a barbeque...a few swords were crossed...a little light 'banter' taking place between people with completely opposite views! And...guess who had the MOST 'opposite' views of what most people class as important. Yep...yours truly! Now...I've given up trying to 'convert' people to see that there is more to life than money and 60+ hour weeks chasing a career. I've come to understand that people will only 'get it' when they are READY! When they're ready to open their minds a little and see that life doesn't have to be a constant push-pull struggle - and instead can, on the whole, be quite pleasant on a day-to-day basis. Even if you DON'T have much money or a high-flying career! It IS possible...but only if YOU really want it to be. Most people aren't quite there yet in terms of going against the common beliefs that generations have shaped...whether 'right' or 'wrong'. The other night I was actually called LUCKY for being able to work at home doing something that I enjoy. LUCK doesn't come into it...but that's another epidode entirely! I work very hard at what I do...and, belief me, the circumstances that got me 'here' I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy in terms of the pain, stress, and upset they caused. Yet...for me...it's made me realize how LUCKY I really am to have had to gone through all of that with Connor - and roll up here with an understanding that I CAN enjoy my life more than I ever did. If I (and YOU) choose to, that is.
