Life on the Rocks with a Twist of Gratitude

At times, I find myself caught in a cycle of self-doubt and second-guessing my decisions. I often reflect on moments where I feel I missed out on opportunities or made choices that didn't turn out as I had hoped. For example, when faced with two job options, I often look back and think, "Wow, I should have chosen the other one." These thoughts can be overwhelming, leading me to beat myself up over the past.  Despite this, I try to remind myself that every experience serves as a learning lesson.

Life keeps moving, and so should we, adapting and figuring things out as we go along. A  twist  for a Wednesday night , on a day when things didn't go as planned

Struggling can sometimes feel like a constant battle. I have a tendency to take on too many responsibilities at once, often overwhelming myself in the process. You would think that, after all the dental work I’ve had, I would have learned my lesson about biting off more than I can chew. It’s almost ironic.

Maybe this is the moment to stop and think about how I manage my time and responsibilities. If my life is so packed that I can’t find moments to breathe, it might be time to reevaluate my choices.  Just a Saturday Morning Twist
