Grey's Anatomy

Oh what a difference a night makes.

Darn that Meredith Grey! I used to be a Grey’s Anatomy junkie. Like, I can’t leave the house on Thursday nights because I canNOT miss what’s about to go down. Meredith Grey and her explanation of life lessons at the end of the hour...OOOOh, Goodie! I am a crier. Undeniably, I am a leaker (i.e. Terminator 2…sad ending). So, something is going to happen during that hour that is going to tug on my heart strings and I’m going down. The “Heart in a Box” episode gave the closing speech:

“It’s a little horrifying just how quickly everything can fall to crap. Sometimes it takes a huge loss to remind you of what you care about the most. Sometimes you find yourself becoming stronger as a result, wiser, more equipped to deal with the next disaster that come along. Sometimes, but not always.”

Let me be your pep talk for 2012. Why Not? Ask yourself this question before you make that next step or leap into that “something’ that scares you to pieces. Why Not do “whatever” is going to have you standing at the top of the mountain wondering if you can ski down. Even if you tumble, you will get back up. Stop waiting for a better opportunity or timing. I am certain someone else is going to ask if you are sure this is what you want, or better yet, try to talk you out of it. Before you are turned away, consider the source. Next, GO TO THE source. A double-minded person is doubt-filled and confused. No more stable than a boat without a stern – The Titanic (catch the visual?).

Life happens and will continue to happen. The last thing any of us can do is ensure a particular outcome. WINNING (we luv you Charlie) is going for it when there are no guarantees. It’s Faith. It’s Confidence. You can’t get better at anything just watching someone else. As I was told so brashly at work, hope is not a plan. So why not do it…

Aye, and don’t hold my absence against me. I’m fighting too. :~)

George Bernard Shaw Quotes

You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"

-"Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1

One man that has a mind and knows it, can always beat ten men who haven't and don't.

-"The Apple Cart" (1930), act I

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.
