Crossroads
Every now and then something turns out a different way from how you’d hoped. Disappointment is such a 2020 vibe.
But get past the initial disappointment and there’s a chance to reappraise, reevaluate, refocus. Because sometimes when so much effort has been spent pursuing one particular outcome, considering how things work when they play out differently adds a bit of perspective.
Maybe the original goal wasn’t so uncomplicated. Maybe the actual outcome allows the channelling of more energy into things that are good and things that bring joy, which would otherwise have been consumed in less worthwhile ways.
So, is this a turning point? Something I’ll look back on as a formative moment? The closing of one door, the opening of another? Or just a special request stop on an otherwise planned journey?
