Oops!

Had a very funny and a bit embarrassing moment earlier. I was at eGate with my two aunts earlier this evening and after some drinks, we were heading back to our cars when I saw that the driver side of my car was blocked by a Kelisa that was stupidly parked so close to my car (not even a six-inch Subway sandwich could fit!) that it was completely impossible to get into my car except through the passenger side.

I was rather annoyed and was remarking what an idiot this guy is, parking the car so close to mine that I couldn't get into it. I remember telling my aunts, "What an idiot!" And then, suddenly, a couple standing next to us, who were already busy talking earlier on, stopped and looked at us and sheepishly asked, "Oh, that's your car?" The guy proceeded to move his car while my aunts thanked the lady standing there.

I didn't realize that the "idiot" was standing right beside us. D'oh!

Anyway, I nodded to the lady and proceeded to drive off, feeling rather annoyed still, but also a bit embarrassed. What a humbling lesson to watch my tongue... Idiot!

Time's A Changin'

For every storybook, there is a beginning, a middle and an end. The same goes for every season in life - there is a start, and then, there is a finish. I am wondering if my current season in life is coming to a close.

I have not felt so "out of place" in a while now, and I don't know if this is driven by the thoughts inside my head or that it is a tug from the heart to move on. I feel rather disconnected lately and I hope this is not stemming from an incident that, unfortunately, happened a while back.

Am I ready to give the "heave ho" and head on out or will I still miss being where I am at? It is not easy to leave and say goodbye to a wonderful chapter in life but there are too many instances damaging the circumstances. I don't know if I can bear going through those instances again.

A change is needed. The question is - where?
