The Irony Of Fulfilled Wishes

The pit is a horrendous place to be in. That is where I am now, stuck fast in a quagmire, not sinking further but unable to escape from its gluey clutches either. It is not that things are coming apart for me. On the contrary, the pieces are falling into place just as I would have wanted. My predicament is that all fell onto my lap at the same time in a tangled and chaotic mass. They are all there for my taking as soon as I can unravel them. All that is holding me down is the irony of getting everything that I had wished for.

  1. Walao.. “the irony of getting everything that I had wished for.” Will i ever be able to say that abt myself??

    “..the pieces are falling into place just as I would have wanted.

    Peter:
    There is a saying: “Be prepared for what you wished for. They may all just come true.” Admittedly, I was not prepared for it.

  2. Didn’t know what you were wishing for, it seems. It happens. I’m an avid reader of your blog. Just thought I’d drop a comment to cheer you up. You seemed to be down, not many content on your blog recently. Take time to unravel the tangle. It takes patience. Once it’s untangled you will feel the satisfaction. Have a nice day.

    Peter:
    Thanks for leaving some kind words here. Much appreciated.

  3. you have all the pieces. am sure all will unravel in no time. have agreat weekend. 😉

    Peter:
    Yes, slowly… slowly…

  4. It’ll be nice if I had all the things I’ve wished for fall on my lap.I’m glad its panning out for you. Make the right decisions as life’s journey has lots of bends and forks.Take your time to find the right road to take.The world is full of “should haves”.A life without regret is a life well lived.Am an old xaverian myself (class of 74)!

    Peter:
    Something getting all you wishes come true at the same time is not such a good thing after all… but yes, I am grateful for such blessings. Working to unravel them bit by bit. Labor omnia vincit.
