I don't want to waste my time and energy on things that will never succeed in spite of my efforts, but neither do I want to give up too soon and suffer regret. How does one know the difference? That's the question that makes me crazy.Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014582949326182166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-23581199281345413452018-01-24T09:39:31.735-06:002018-01-24T09:39:31.735-06:00I think we'd drive ourselves crazy if we took ...I think we'd drive ourselves crazy if we took the blame for everything.

It gives you a chance to see things from a new perspective and to think things over.

I think that happens because the thing we wanted to happen just wasn't meant to be. Guess the Master of the Universe knows better than us! ha! Take care.

And then I get a bag of chips, a glass of wine and watch the rain. Life is funny that way. =0)Susan Sundwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747706680849311882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-19428884129116164352018-01-21T17:54:07.115-06:002018-01-21T17:54:07.115-06:00I think so too.

Of course, you may be MEANT to make the efforts, even though they are unsuccessful.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.com
