Serving a Purpose

I’ve made mistakes. Boy, have I made mistakes! Sometimes those thoughts keep me up at night. Maybe you know what I’m talking about …you’re trying to sleep and your chest tightens with anxiety when that memory pops in your head of that one embarrassing thing you said/did 8 years ago (or yesterday!). Really!? Really, brain? I can’t remember whether I fed the dog tonight but you bring this up? Well, extra dinner for Ollie and extra coffee for me!


Thank goodness for Grace! Thank goodness for the ability to LEARN from our mistakes… to give them purpose. I have so much to learn and I know I can plan on a few more doozies before I figure it all out, but my mistakes serve a purpose and I can only hope the MANY moments of ‘Aw, shit. What the hell was I thinking?!’ lead me to finding peace in whatever my future holds… and if I hope my future holds love and vodka, who could really blame me? 😉

Dinner with you isn't even physically appealing. If I have drinks with you I'm going to get emotional and cry all over you about the despair I'm currently fee...
