Control of our lives is certainly a worthwhile goal but if you have been around the block a few times you know that total control is an illusion,. We have all experienced the unexpected events that visit out of the blue, some have been painful,l and others joyful.Despite this there are some opportunities to change our mindset that provide new opportunities to go for the brass ring on the carousel.Every day is precious so brief meditative moments will allow us to savor what we have,and what we desire.Follow at least one dream,open your heart to forgiveness,laugh at your foibles,experience the pleasure of relationships and above all celebrate your uniqueness and value,Let the silly side out at least occasionally, and let that one burning wish out of its cage.
