On doors and windows…
Posted: December 16th, 2008 | Author: Ann | Filed under: Thoughts | Tags: Ann Brampton, Blog, Moving on, open doors, open windows |As I check my statistics on a daily basis, I have began to notice how many people arrive at my blog searching words such as “moving on” or “new beginning”, you’d think I was some kind of expert at these subjects when in fact I honestly do suck at them!. This really got me thinking, I actually have moved on many times in my life, so maybe I’m getting too good at it, or at least I have learned to hide away certain feelings in order to force myself forward and gain a fresh mentality. I had some interesting conversations this weekend, about relationships, heartbreak and moving on. Life throws us curve-balls, all the time, that’s no secret to anyone… maybe there’s a true reason for them.
I have loved hard, and I know how it feels to be at that point where maybe you just feel that you are wasting your time, and your feelings of course. It’s hard to “click” with someone of the opposite sex, even more if you’ve been married, have kids, and know how hard it is to find someone remotely compatible. How many times have we just thought things way too much and then realized the window has passed? Maybe we just need to act upon things quickly, I mean, we all get to a point where we look back and think, boy! Its been that long!? Its all live and learn right?… the only mistake we can make is the one from which we learn nothing.
How many times have we all gone over and over in our minds about what was, or what could have been, or how bad we felt? In the end, what’s the point of doing that when we just need to accept the fact that it’s over and that its time to put things behind us. And, of course, if someone shows up that can help us get through the ordeal faster, why not? Why waste time?
I’ve wasted a lot of time in my life, waiting, loving, caring and even more waiting. We need to take more chances, it opens a door to be pleasantly surprised, and who knows, maybe someone will come along and just remind you that you are still alive and have a lot to give.
Life is way too short and if there is something I have learned is that it comes in stages, all good and bad. It’s good to act spontaneously, take chances and open our eyes and our hearts to new experiences, new feelings and new people… the windows are there, we just have to learn to find them and go for them, live a little… go for it! :o)
Just a thought… any comments?
