It's Saturday morning and I heard movement from my little boys room meaning he was on his way to climb in with me. His first conversation with me was about Easter and its meaning. The question of Jesus and God existing or not took in other religions and dinosaurs along with evolution as we through it all in to the discussion. It was quite a lot for 6:30am.
I looked on Facebook as he watched Power Rangers in bed and saw a lad I know who had posted about a crushing loneliness in his life. I instant messages him back and said how I had been lost and lonely for thirty years before a realisation hit home that it was 'other people' who were ultimately the problem that ruins things in your day.
We all need someone or something to hang our expectations on or tell us we are on the right path. But since life is a random path of events pushed and pulled by those who interact with it, we shouldn't stress about it. Just like our face in the mirror not being the way we would have chosen it to look, we need to accept our place in the world and keep putting one foot in front of the other in our snail speed progression through the worlds filth.
Keep your head down and keep the people in your life to a few, that's my advice.
