• Predetermination. Hmmm…

  In Heaven before we came to Earth I think we lined up at large tables and registered for the things we wanted to be in life Sort of how you first register for college.  The tables probably contained such categories as FAME, FORTUNE, or perhaps FAMILY, and MARRIAGE  way on down to things like GOOD HAIR DAYS, and LUCK WITH AUTOMOBILES.*

  Of course probably everyone wanted to be famous or rich or have a life of ease so we probably had to sign up for things like EARLY DEATH, or LOSS OF FAMILY and possibly things like ALWAYS HITS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, or TENDENCY TOWARDS SPILLING THINGS ON SHIRTS. 

  We probably even could have gotten more detailed like when these things would come to us like LOVE LATER IN LIFE  or EARLY IN LIFE or even BEAUTY IN CHILDHOOD  or BEAUTY AT ADULTHOOD. **

  Anyway the table possibilities are endless sometimes I think about what tables I attended and hope that my tendency to drift mentally didn’t let me short change myself.Of course ADULTATTENTION  DEFICIT DISORDER may be something I signed up for.  My course registration  is something like this I imagine although I’m sure it will change. After all we’re always starting new semesters and periods in our lives.

  ADULT ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER {ha ha}

  FAMILY   LOVE  MARRIAGE  CHILDREN  HOME

  CREATIVE THOUGHT  GOOD HEALTH 

  OCCASIONAL INNER PEACE 

  AUTOMOBILE KARMA {GOOD}  GIFT OF SHORT LINES***

  EASE OF FORGIVENESS   A SHORT MEMORY  A LONG MEMORY

  OVER WORRYING  OCCASIONAL OBSESSIVENESS

  SELF PREOCCUPATION  CONSIDERATION OF OTHERS

  APPRECIATION OF PARENTS****

  LOW SELF CONSTRAINT

  STUBBORNNESS   HUMOR 

  I know my list has more on it but now I’m getting bored with it. Did I put down SHORT ATTENTION SPAN ? anyway I’d like to know what you guys signed up for. My sister got BRAINS and AMBITION. My Mom probably has PATIENCE WITH TEENS and GREAT LAUGH down on hers while my Dad I’m sure had PATIENCE WITH TODDLERS  as well as LOVE OF NATURE on his. Of course theirs may have flipped on their timeline. My friend Heather put down GREAT FRIENDS as well as BRAINS and BEAUTY I’m sure. I think she also stuck INCREDIBLY THIN on hers. Probably that line was too long for me so I went to the SHORT LINE list instead  and hit the STRUGGLE WITH WEIGHT list on my way out the door. That’s okay I got on the MULTIPLE ORGASMS list, I use this to console myself. I hope my Dad Doesn’t read this. Anyway what’s on your list?

  * I definitely got on this list. It’s not that I get great cars but that if something bad is going to happen I’m lucky enough to be in a good place for it. Like when my clutch went out at the top of a hill and my mechanic’s garage just happened to be at the bottom so I just coasted right in. Or the time my family and I were going thru a small town in Utah with nothing else within fifty miles and the tire fell off of the car we were in just as we were coming into town. We had just come thru Zion’s Park and were going up and down mountains on wicked switch backs but the tire waited until we were in the safest possible place… That’s what I call good car karma. I have many more examples but I can hear the yawns.

  **I think you could ask people like Tyra Banks or Julia Roberts about these as being obvious examples of course I can’t think of anyone who was truly beautiful as a child and lost it as an adult. Maybe Liz Taylor now there’s a list example. She was on the fame and fortune list but definitely on the unlucky love list although she got the marriage list to a tee. And then there’s the long life list but she forgot to get on the good memory list.

  *** Lines always seem to be short for me and if their not I usually can find someone to talk to in them to pass the time so they never seem to take  long.

  ****This is one of those time related ones. I’ve always appreciated my parents but at sometimes in life I think that you have renewed realizations or new understanding depredate on things that happen in yourown life.
