Sometimes the changes are not at all what was expected, but they nevertheless cause changes that alter the direction we are presently taking. Those changes might please us but perhaps they might not.
When my sister married, she thought she was in for a life of happiness. She never expected the love of her life to walk out on her.
And when she decided to marry a second time, she believed it would be better than her first marriage. It was worse. Her husband beat her and abused her in so many ways. She was freed from him only when he took his own life. After that, she decided that marriage was not for her and she lived alone with her son for a while.
Then she met another man who fell in love with her. She hesitated after all the trauma she suffered from her two previous marriages. She finally decided that this man was right for her. It was a decision that would change her life
This time she was right. He was a very good man and she had many happy years with him till he died of cancer. There will be times also when we make what we believe are minor decisions in life, but that turn out being more important than we ever imagined. Because we cannot know what the future might hold, life can look like the throw of the dice. But it isn’t. When we make careful and informed decisions, we stand a better chance (yes, chance) of doing what’s best. Still, we need to be ready for any eventuality. - Bob Garon
