    Sometimes what didn't work out for you, really worked out for you

    You got that right.
    Sometimes you don't know it right away, but time tells it .

    And sometimes it just takes time for it to come to light. Glad you are beginning to get some clarity.

    Right about that. Took 3 wives to find the best one and unlike the first 2 , she tells me I am the best. ; )

    Putting your words to use...."I was just thinking". Sometimes life gets too busy and we forget take stock of the truly important things in our lives and to share your feelings with the ones you love. Life is all about relationships and how we go down the path together.

    ... it's when you see light at the end of the tunnel and it's not the train this time.

    Absolutely, mom always said “be careful what you wish for “. ( sending this to another thread). With enough time, friction, gravity and sometimes money everything will correct itself. Many things I fought for were In vain and life did what it wanted to. It’s the effort, the tenacity, the strength to fight and move forward that defines our character and ultimately propels us forward

    That's true Jason! Like the old saying goes "one door closes another door opens" I'm a firm believer in everything in life happens for a reason, good or bad.

    Sometimes you stumble and fall, only to later realize you actually dodged a bullet.

    There are Probally few on this group that havnt had a setback or 3 in life
    Divorce,deaths,jobs,money
    In the end life seems to always hand you in a better place if you are strong

    I told my son years ago
    Life has a way of kicking you in the balls every so often
    It keeps you in check pull yourself up like a man and in time it all gets better

    I’ve had many but now in my 60s looking at retirement soon I’ve got a good girlfriend of many years it’s still got it’s bumps but I wouldn’t give up one thing on the road to where Iam no matter how bad it seemed at the time

    You tell yourself "Where is that train that hit me?"... as you hear it's whistle fading in the distance. Stumble to your feet, check your extremities and start walking.

    Sounds like your insightful;)
    Most every morning I'll go outside and have my first cup of coffee on the patio, a couple dogs will come out with me, its still dark out and quiet, I LOVE it:cool:
    Sometimes I'll think of things, past or present, and where Im at, and why am I where Im at?
    Most dont think of stuff like that, but it DOES give you perspective.
    Things are going EXACTLY as planned, it may not be your plan, its Gods plan:D

    Just make sure you continue to "think" with the big head. The little one will get you in more trouble at this point.:)

    Everything happens for a reason although we don't always know. I didn't expect to be where I am at this age yet here I find myself. Hopefully I'll find out the reason. On the other hand I'm blessed in so many ways and I'm sure there are guys who have what I don't who would gladly trade places.
    I love this vid. Have it saved in YT.
