Thoughtful Tuesday

I have had a few days where my thoughts have been on overdrive.

I am a person who is a thinker. I over-analyze. I obsess. I rehash what I could have said to someone for hours ( sometimes days ) afterwards. I sometimes think about past decisions. Yes, these are wasted energy!

On the other hand I tell myself often, "Everything happens for a reason." I believe that I make choices that are right for me at the time I make them. I trust that my life path is going in the the way it is suppose to be going. Sometimes those choices are difficult, but I learn from everything I do in life.

A few days days ago I learned some shocking news that gave my psyche a step back. It caused me to loose some sleep that night and really think about the"what ifs" in life and my belief that "everything does happen for a reason." I wasn't sure why the news bothered me at first until I realized it was because I am a wife. When a person becomes a wife life is very different, worries are different, the world is different. An empathy for other wives grows the longer I become married.

So today, I hug my husband a little bit tighter and I thank God for the good man he is and that he is all mine!
