Today’s Thought: Buckle Up Buddy, It’s Going to be A Wild Ride

You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope. ~ Thomas Merton

NOTE: I envy folks that have it all together, have a plan, and seemingly it all comes together for them. My experience is that life is a wild ride. Plan as I may, sometimes the plans work out, more often than not, I’m scrambling to make modifications. And, there are times where my best plans crash to the floor and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men can’t put them back together again. Life offers us a wonderful coin where one side is possibilities and the other side is challenges. We need to make sure we’re wearing our seatbelt because there will be twists and turns and often no guardrail to prevent us from going over the side. It takes courage, faith, and hope to buckle up and ride. Don’t miss it, you never know where it’s going to take you.
