One step at a time.

Three strikes against the weekend that I've been looking forward to for so long...

1. I won't get to see my fiance for another week now...
   
2. My best friend thinks I hate him...
   
3. The company I work for has deceived me yet again into working an overnight shift to cover their lack of competency in scheduling.
   

Maybe Mr. Eager will still come to the west side of Michigan today. I would love to hang out with him for a while. However, if Liz won't be here, there's really no point.

I have been looking forward to this day from the moment I stepped foot in the Grand Rapids International Airport three weeks ago... and now I wish I could just rewind time and try this over again. I could ask mother nature to provide tail winds to help the plane carrying Liz arrive at it's destination on time. I could have set aside a weekend to go talk with my friend instead of letting our thoughts dwell on everything. I could have turned down the request to work the overnight shift at the Parchment respite house.

But, alas... I cannot do that. All I can do is live with the consequences of my actions and the actions of others.

In the socialist LiveJournal community, a poster blamed socialists as blaming others for their problems. "If you blame others for your own situation," he said, "that is a problem. You fail to see that you are accountable for your own life. That is a problem.

To a certain degree, of course, he is correct. What he fails to realize is that some things are indeed out of our control. Such things as the rising/setting of the sun, the weather (although, some bad weather is of our own doing), or the speed of the winds helping to propel an airplane back home. Such things are out of our control. That is why humanity created gods. Gods were to explain what could not be explained.

What God can explain this to me?

I've about had it with this world. What do I do next? What is my life leading up to?

Lunch.

My life is leading to lunch.

One step at a time, David. One step at a time.
