Molly's Musings is for the random thoughts in life--some really deep, others very. . . Molly's Musings are meant to get you thinking, laughing or, preferably, both. If you leave this page feeling offended. . .well, you need to open up your mind a little and work on your sense of humor now, don't you? :-)
If you've been reading my writings over the past few years, you've picked up on the fact that I've been on a journey of healing (and no, it hasn't been all about my ex--I haven't written directly about the really tough stuff:-) I'm finally started to see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's becoming more obvious to me and to my closest friends the pieces are starting to finally fall into place.
I was talking to one of my dearest friends on the phone the other day and I was kind of voicing my disappointment in a situation that I had hoped would turn out differently because I wanted it to be different. She gave me a much needed kick in the ass (that's my term--she didn't know what to make of it at first when I thanked her for giving me a kick in the ass but understood that I think kicks in the ass are good things:-) and told me that I need to be a bit more patient with myself, otherwise I could wind up repeating the same mistakes that I've worked so hard to heal from. The whole conversation reminded me of the chorus from a Stones song.
"You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Rolling Stones You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes well you just might find You get what you need
There will be another time when I'm wanting something and I will get it. This time I didn't but I certainly got what I needed.
Until next time.
