THEORIES
Recently I came across this theme at twofus_1 and have been thinking about it ever since. Do you have a lot of theories? I didn't think I did, but am finding that to be quite erroneous thinking.
Simple example: today as I was contemplating the last two really good days with my toddler I decided it must be because we've been on a routine lately, no trips, no major changes, etc. AHHH...a theory!! That all may be true, but why must I analyze, break it down, figure it out instead of just enjoying my two really, really good days with my 2 1/2 year old? If we had just come home from a trip I would probably say "wow, he's good 'cause he's so glad to be back home".
So why do we do it? I think I do it because I dislike mystery, love management (makes me feel in control, if I get this figured out then I can make it happen again.) That's a love/hate thing though, because it seldom works the second time and then I get frustrated and out of sorts and have really bad days.
I think ditching all my theories and living in the TRUTH of each moment would make for freedom. Think Jesus knew what He was talking about when He said "the truth shall make you FREE"? Just imagine life if He would have said, "your theories will set you free".

Oh hey like your post/site Carolyn. Yah didn't take me long to say hummmm the writing style, the anaylitical (SP?) thots and good articulation sounds like Carolyn to me! Of course the name Alex helped me too! So...... do we have time or take time to do this "Budget" thing? Right now its take time for me :( :)! Have run across many other mothers,& grandmothers! But hey its nice to have u aboard! Think I'll subscribe promptly-- sure it will be worth my time!
So you get to see my sis, huh? Well, I had kinda' hoped I could come at the same time but didn't work out at all. Too much other travel and stuff . It turns out that some of the people I wanted to see will be here for a week!! So to the rest of you I will have to sigh and say .... catch you later!
Enjoyed your post!
Glad to find you here! I had been wondering if you had a blog. I like your post. It's so true that we like to create reasons about things that happen so we can make life more manageable. Thanks for the reminder to trust in the unexplained
