I read an article today that made me stop in my tracks.
A widow was recalling when, two months after her husband's passing, there was an upcoming parent-child event at school.
A friend suggested to her that she take a "stand-in dad."
"But I want my husband here."
"That's not gonna happen."
"But I don't want anyone else; I want him."
Her friend wisely responded, "That's option A. Option A isn't available.
Let's go kick butt on Option B."
What is your Option B that you reluctantly stare at, really wishing for Option A?
I have a few As that have been derailed in the past two years...and am left with only Option Bs.
I can choose to look back and long for the As or gently lay them down (mine are "currently not available") and pick up the Bs and find to my surprise that the Bs aren't nearly as frightening as I had hitherto thought.
Here's to a B day!
