Be Careful What You Ask For, You Might Get It

You have heard this before.  I know I am guilty of this.  I have asked for something for the last few years, and now that I have what I asked for, I realize that what I had was better than what the new situation was.

Has this happened to you? I bet it has.

I recall a story about a group of people who were on a retreat. They were asked to put their trials and tribulations on a piece of paper in a basket.  Then, they were to take a piece of paper from the basket, and decide if they wanted to keep that adversity, or turn it back in.  To a person, they chose to keep their own adversity. Better the devil I know.

We shall survive and persevere.  But what bumps and lumps along the way.
