I Surrender

Just when I think I may have figured out this crazy living thing life pulls out one of the many tricks up her sleeve and I am baffled again. I think this is how this whole game of life goes though. The truth is we never know what life is holding or when she will play her cards.... or if we will win that hand or lose it. But we keep playing, making the best with the cards we are dealt. There seems to be a push and pull motion that happens in my game with life. It can be likened to an essence of determination and then surrender. But I often forget how important this whole surrender thing is. Maybe if I stop cramming this circle peg into a square hole, life will have a chance to hand me the square peg that fits effortlessly. She has been tapping on my shoulder waiting to hand it over but I have been so busy and determined with the circle peg that I don't even notice. So I surrender. I understand life can be my greatest opponent and my best friend but either way we are in this together and I might as well make the best out of it.... after all I am grateful just to be playing.
