I was just over reading Lorna's blog (2-9-06). She is a terrific writer you should go check her out right now. I'll wait.....
Ok, she was talking about how placing an ad in the newspaper changed her life forever. It made me think about all the little things that had to fall in line for me to have the life I have today.
I couldn't stand the idea of moving home from my college dorm and chose to move to Denver with a friend of mine. I took a job near our apt.
CCB moved across country and was staying with his parents while he looked for a job. He turned down the first job offer which was closer to his house and took the one at my place of business.
After dating for a while I decided that our relationship was a little to overwhelming for me. I was gonna break up with him. That is when he was dealt a financial blow. I couldn't bear to add more stress to his life and never broke it off. Instead, he moved in with me.
Our cohabitation lead me to realize that what was really freaking me out was the feelings that this man evoked from me. I loved him. I was afraid but I was in love. A little over a year later we were engaged.
There are so many choices that could have changed the course of my life forever. What would have happened if CCB had taken the other job? What if I had stayed in my hometown or broken up with him? I'm just lucky I chose the ones I did.
There are plenty more instances like this but I'll save them for another day. I bet you have plenty too if you stop and think about it.

Yeah, you better say that was the right choice!
It's interesting how the choices we make in life lead us to where we are..
It really is crazy how things work but that is why I am a strong believer that all thing happen for a reason. They may not always seem right at the moment or they may not seem clear but things always end up the way they are supposed to, at least in my mind. I'm glad you took the path that led to your happiness.
Fate, destiny, whatever you want to call it you gotta love it! By the way, I am soooo stealing the subject of this post as the next subject of mine;)
Gabby- I don't plan on driving myself mad. I only think of the good things that have happened or the trouble that was avoided.
CCB-Oh, don't you act all tough with me MR! As for your whore...If she hadn't had to tuck her tata's in her waistband maybe you'd have made more money. The runny eye probably didn't attract many customers either.
Chick- It's a tricky thing to have a romance at work but it CAN work huh!
H&B2 - Absolutely!
Funky Bee - Hind sight is 20/20!There is a Garth Brooks song that says "I thank God for unanswered prayers." Aint that the truth!
Sprinkle - What's mine is yours my friend.
Thanks for the mention. It's staggering to think of the things we could have missed out on in life. I often have a funny feeling when I'm walking on a new street that I'll see "House for sale" outside what will be the perfect house for us. Oh wait! that would really suck because we've bought a condo and rented an apartment.....
Isn't that wierd.. I just don't think of the past. I made the choice I made...
I don't think I have experienced that life changing event...yet.
