Why Now ?

 

Why not now?

I spent many years wondering

why things happened when they did.

What evil intentions did a Higher Power

have that I was not getting the things I wanted

when I wanted them.

The Pennsylvania Deutsch have a saying ,

"We grow to early oldt, and to late schmart."

The realization that I have no control over why now

and why not now is a very sobering thought.

I guess I'm getting older, but necessarily smarter.

The only clue that I may have some influence

on the outcomes of daily events is when I can

directly trace an action to a decision I was aware of.

The decision did not have to be my choice.

It could be the choice made by anyone in the world,

know personally by me or a person I may have never met.

(I never knew George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Einstein,

or the people who domesticated the chicken, but they all have

definitely impacted the world I live in today.)

It could have been any person who lived any time during the span

of time man has been on Earth.

.

What were the many decisions made by all my ancestors that resulted

in me being born to my parents?

How many decisions have I made that I will never understand the full

consequences of those choices?

How many decisions have I made that may take many generations

to have their impact become relevant?

What genes may be passed on?

Like I have a choice??

I guess I can't solve the problems of the future.

Best thing to do: Today, I will work on making the best right decision I can make

.

Best thing to do: I will accept that which has happened, is happening and/or may happen

                                  as being beyond my power to control.

Best thing to do: Laugh, Love and Live like there is no Tomorrow.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves .
