Epic Fail

“Oh no, I can’t believe I did that!”

How often have we made that exclamation? Well this morning was no exception. I woke up and was going through my mental note of my day and realized that I had dropped the ball; I had forgotten to plan for Zee’s lessons for today. This became even more evident when at 7:30am my son comes to me asking, “mom, do we have a compass?”

Now picture this: a woman in her pajamas (sorry babes), pulling on a long sweater to add some modesty to her attire, grabbing her youngest, who was also in his pjs, then hurriedly rushing off to Walmart to see if they sold compasses. Getting there, she realizes that Walmart does not provide such intricacies, so she hastily, but with caution, drove to Office Max. At Office Max, she found quite a few but decided to go with the one closest to ‘those from back in the days’ (yes, she is an old fashioned kind-a gal). She walks up to the cashier and realizes that she did not have her purse…

Welcome to my world! This morning is the start of an eventful day. One in which I plan on being thankful, comes what may. Today, I am determined to breathe and see the rainbow throw every twist and turn, knowing that God will not give me more than I can bear.

On another note, this morning I was thinking about the meaning of ‘equality for all before the law.” A few nights ago, a friend and I were talking about the true meaning of that statement and he pointed out that he is a firm believer of that statement. This morning, while laying in bed this thought came to my mind, “equality for all before the law is a hope dangled before us but almost always never attained. We are all different and experience different circumstances and as a result, we oftentimes expect that our circumstances will color or provide some justifiable reason for our actions. Accordingly, and even though we have our laws, we will get varying decisions along the way because it is not only the law that is in operation, human behavior is too. The law, therefore, does not and cannot operate outside of ‘life.’

My ten minutes are up…
