Happy New Year! I was trying to come up with what I could possibly use as a New Year's Resolution, and pretty much drew blanks. I could join the "This year, I will quit smoking" group, but then I would have to start smoking in order to stop. I could go with the "lose 20 pounds" group, but I think I've joined that group every year and dropped out around January 6th,when the French pastry "galette des Rois" is celebrated. I could choose "I will do better at my job", but since I'm jobless that could be kind of difficult.
This year is new to us. Not in the sense that it's a new year, but in the sense that it is a complete unknown for us. There's no plan, no direction. We are both jobless and don't know if Julien will find a job to tide us over until we move back to Canada. Our appartment is up for sale, but we don't know when it will sell. We're waiting for Julien's visa to come through, but again, we don't know when it will come. Our entire life is unknown right now. So this year, my resolution is to join the "go with the flow" group. This is a big challenge for me, because I like having a safe net; I like being in control of my life. Because everything is so out of control right now, I have no choice but to trust that God knows what's best. Clichéd, definately. But so true. So here's to the Go with the Flow resolution, complete with song and dance.
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
