nothing profound. just confused.

I am so sleepy tonight that my eyelids are barely staying up. I have the education Career Summit tomorrow, and going to it is definitely not on my Important Things to Do list. Not that I have one. Written, anyway.
Just a question, though, that's been floating around in my head. Is it inevitable for us as humans to think we can have our cake and eat it too? Sometimes I just wish people would make decisions and accept them, avoiding the heartbreak that so often comes with flip-flopping around. I really just want to get on my soap box and proclaim in no uncertain terms that once you make your bed, you have to lie in it. Cliche because it's true.
But then I start thinking about myself, what I want, and how the world actually works. Are things really that clear cut? Maybe it's natural to want to have your cake and eat it too. Of course, "natural" doesn't mean it's right . . .
I guess maybe God designed us to long for closure but never to find it except in Him? I hope not, though . . . Those "Check Yes or No" boxes on elementary school notes would come in handy right now. Yes or no. Pick one, and stop playing around.

Starting Fresh

I get annoyed when the WB television channel calls episodes "fresh" instead of "new." I guess they are just trying to be cutting edge cool for their oh-so-hip teenage audience. Annoyance aside, I think I like the word fresh for certain non-food related situations. Like this one.
Writing a blog for me is not new, but today marks the point at which I move to a new home for my thoughts . . . right here. Not new, but not the same-old same-old. Time for a change. Time to leave some things behind. Time to start fresh.
