The List of Suck & an Apology
This year has had an amazingly long List of Suck.* Some of the items included in the List of Suck have already been mentioned in past blog posts, so I won't repeat them.
In response to this List, I have, along with my sister, been calling Fate out.
"Bring it on, Bitch!" we've shouted. "Bring it on right now, because I'll be damned if I'm carrying any of this shit into the next year!"
We thought this amusing at the time. I realize now our mistake.
Fate is more than happy to present you with more challenges if you ask for them. For example, Fate has decide to play a game of hide an seek with my cell phone tonight while I was in Mountain View. She was very good at the hiding; I was very poor at the seeking. The cell phone has not been found. Therefore, I present this apology.
Dear Fate,
Please accept my apology regarding my previous cocky behavior. I did not mean to offend you in any way. I realize that you present challenges into my life for the purpose of helping me grow as a person. Thank you for that.
Furthermore, I appreciate the lesson in humility you presented tonight with the hiding of my cell phone. I appeal to your good graces in the hopes that you may be so kind as to return it to me. Such a generous gift would be gratefully appreciated and offerings of incense and meditation may be presented in return.
Sincerely yours,
Andrea
P.S. Please let this be the last lesson that I must learn for this year. The growing pains already presented have been quite enough, and I am tired and could use the rest for a while.
Edited to Add: I came in to work this morning and found my cell phone in the office. Which means that it was never lost in the first place. This is very odd, because last night I was 100% sure that I had my cell phone when I got out of the car to go to the write-in. Very, very odd. But thank you Fate for returning my phone to me, even if it's not technically a return and it was just sitting there all along.
*Note: There is also a corresponding List of Awesome, including, but not limited to, growing metamorphosing connections with family, friends, and internet aquaintances, traveling to Hawaii, getting more connected with my writing than ever before, and all the daily delights such as waking up, stretching, dancing, singing, laughing, smiling, learning, and just plain living.
