“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.”  – Gilda Radner

I have told my daughters that the weak want to control everything, because the fact that we aren’t in control is terrifying, but the strong can face the fear of not knowing, and become exhilarated with living.

This is the one true aspect of life I want my children prepared for.  No matter how much you plan, how much you think you are in control, life has a way of turning everything upside down. The fun part is looking around once the storm has passed and seeing the world is greener, and full of more sparkle than you could have ever dreamed of.

My life is nothing like I planned it to be, but it is far better. When you embrace the horrifying nature of the unknown you find miracles. You will find forgiveness, happiness and peace.
