Just when I lay down, and think I'll finally get a nap in, my mind starts up again. I keep thinking about all the little moments in life, that really change your life. I mean, one small thing could really change it! I'm not talking about friends moving off, people leaving your life or changing jobs. I saw a video that a friend posted. It was about a pilot who was to fly on 9/11/2001. Long story short, there was another senior pilot who wanted the flight instead. So the first pilot was bumped off the flight. Well, it was one of the hijacked planes. That pilot whose life was spared really seems to be doing something with his life, knowing he could look on TV and see what his fate was suppose to be.
It doesn't have to mean life and death. Maybe you could bump into someone by total accident and they change your life....good or bad. My head just can't comprehend all the what-ifs in life. I try to think about my first love, what if that would have all worked out? What would I be doing? You just can't know! What about all the stupid things I did when I was younger? How did I survive those things? We actually build a high power explosive once, made out of pipe. You had to shake it for the chemicals to react. I was shaking it, wondering if I had activated the chemicals inside. About that time, the cap we had on the end blew off I don't know how many yards away! We didn't let the glue cure on the cap. What if that glue had cured? At my previous job, I was walking though the unit when a large hose over pressured, came loose, whipped and hit my knee. It split it open. How come it didn't swing a little higher and hit me in the temple? I could go on and on and on about all these things that could have turned out different. Ok, my mind has calmed and I need a nap.
