From the Editor's Computer
Sometimes things just don't work out right in our lives. It doesn’t matter what we do, what we say, or how we feel, things just go in a different direction than we want them to.
I’ve been having one of those weeks where it seems like everything is falling apart, not moving, or not going how I’d like it to go.
My studies aren’t progressing the way I’d like them too (doesn’t help that I started the course three weeks behind everyone else due to late textbooks) and I discovered I can’t submit my assignments as my professor is out of touch with a family medical emergency. Tasks I want to complete at work and at home aren’t getting done for various reasons. I’m in the midst of a couple strained friendships, and that barely scratches the surface!
Sometimes when things seem to fall apart, we need to let go of our desire to control the outcome and just let them. Let the computer not work, let the other person be mad at you, let yourself be frustrated, tired and miserable.
Everything happens for a reason and the timing is always right. The frustrating delay right now could be just what you need to allow you time to accomplish something else. The problems in your friendships could give you an opportunity to reach out to someone else who needs a friend. It could be that you need to slow down and take care of yourself.
