Life is funny...

So I have a friend that is going thru some things that many people wouldn't be able to handle. This person, however, is flurishing. Not by conventional standards, but in other ways, becoming more than what is expected of everyday people while enduring more than what is expected of the same everyday people. Funny how you can use the same things and get totally different meanings depending on your use of the thing. For example, words, situations, tools, just about anything really.

At a point where most people would be saying "are you freakin kidding me?!?!?!?!" extraordinary people are saying, "I see this opportunity and I accept the challenge!!". See, same situtation, different meanings to the ones involved. And the word extraordinary. I would use that word to describe my friend, but really, now that I look at the word, there is not really anything ordinary about her. So why is she extra ordinary? Hmmm, funny...

I am at a point where I have been asked to do something that I am not sure I am supposed to be doing. No nothing illegal. Rather, I am not sure that I am up to the task. I would do ANYTHING to show that I care and support my friend!! I am also the kind of person that is real, honest and true to myself and who/what I am. Or at least try to be. Having said that, I have told a fib or two in my day, I have been fake as well. Most of it done with good intentions, yet I have fallen short. I bet we all have so I guess in that I am ordinary, perhaps even extra, go figure.

I will be calling my all knowing Granny. She is a very grounded and stable person who has done many things for her beliefs. I know that with her help and the guidance from God that I can/will figure this out. I have seen many things in my time and know that nothing is impossible. By that I mean I believe and yes, have seen miracles. I live with one everyday, my Husband. So believing in what she is trying to do/achieve is not the problem. I have a mustard seed. It is too small for the faith that I have, although it hasn't always been, please know I was not always this sure of what I am and what I know to be tru. I believe that what she wants is very real and very possible. Just a mere matter of a simple request being filled. That's all. I just do not want to miss out on what will be an adventure in every sense of the word!! I also do not want to be the one that spoils it because I was doing it with good intentions but for the wrong reasons.

So here is my delima. To be or not to be, lol, kinda dramatic but fitting. Isn't that the question for all of us though? I mean really. So here is my solution....We'll see. I know, I hated that answer as a child!!! As a child though, I didn't understand that there were many different things that went into one simple question. As an adult and especially as a parent, I totally get it now, i.e. "Mom, can I go play?" Well, where, when, with whom and what? Simple question, yet many things to consider.

Ok, so now that my second post is really longer and much more unorganized than my first, I need to go to the store and get laundry detergent. Ya, kinda off topics but when my daughter asks to do her laundry, well, there just aren't any other things to consider at this point other than wether we have laundry soap or not. Perhaps later on there may be for for now, why make things difficult? Just do what you feel is best for the situation your in and leave things a little better than you found them.
