Unfinished Business

Every so often I am sure we all ponder about those "Unfinished Businesses" that we have. Oftentimes we push the thought aside, knowing that the longer we think about them the more bitter we become. Really it is not always easy to let go of those what ifs in life. And the only solution to it is : Time. The longer we move away from the past the less important they become, and the more in touch we become with the reality that it isn't.

Unfinished Businesses have a purpose. And that is, to be part of the past that once was, but no longer is. I am sure if things turned out the way they were meant to be, then we don't have those what ifs. Sometimes things left unfinished are left at its best that way. Don't we all agree to that?

The magic of no endings allow us to relish the thoughts that will be kept in that snow globe of memories.

MY ANSWER: Like Em, I just absolutely don't like doing the laundry! As In, the folding and stacking new clothes, sorting them out! I just am not that patient doing that. If I could just forever buy new clothes I probably would just so I don't have to do the laundry ever! I used to not like cooking, but I have matured a bit and learned the basics so I would trade laundry any and every day for a cooking chore! I am surviving life without household help, but given the chance to have a bit of help, I would be SO glad!
