Anyone who spends any time talking to me will have noticed that this has become my tagline of late. To pretty much everything I'm asked - I say "We'll see."
I am very non committal.
What's the new boss like? "We'll see"
What's happening with the job application - "It's on hold, we'll see."
This Summer I'm beginning the task of redrafting and with luck, finishing my book for children, which I began many moons ago. I was asked how it was going today.............."We'll see"
I think my attitude to life is a healthy one though. The days of allowing the birds of worry to nest in my hair are mostly behind me and I am looking at my future as more of an interesting journey and I have no idea about the destination. It used to worry me. Now it doesn't. I tend to think that whatever happens, I'll be ok and that old chestnut "What will be will be" is a good one to which I am subscribing.
I decided this week, on the anniversary of when I went on a Buddhist retreat, to contact someone I met there who is as bright and sunny a person as I've ever met. I had an incredible time at the retreat. I'd never done anything like it before and was not even that familiar with Buddhism. It was wonderful. We lived without TV and phones and ate simply, spending our time chatting and drinking tea...oh and there was the getting lost in the Badwell Ash Triangle. The best part was the people. I can't say I have ever met a more likeable group of people as I did that weekend. Despite the age of communication we live in, I only keep in touch with one. I wondered how he was doing. He's doing well and has had a good year. I told him I had too and we sent each other some messages about what we'd both been up to. He's done some holidaying, he's met some great people, he's loving his job still and so am I. We've both been a bit slack on the meditation front! When I finished talking about what I'd been doing and what was in the pipeline for the future, including my 101 list, I signed off,
"We'll see"..... and I really meant it. I am not worried about what lies ahead and whatever is meant for me will not pass me by. I have to just settle in and enjoy the journey there.
