Psychic Reading

Last night, at the county fair, I got a bad psychic reading.  This was the second time I had ever sat with a psychic and I am pretty confided it was the last.  What she told me was upsetting and has been niggling under my skin, flipping my stomach and downright bugging me since.   

The way I look at it, I have two choices: 

1.       Throw myself into an existential crisis (very tempting, but possibly expensive and annoying to friends and family)

2.       Create my own reading

I’m going with number 2.  I believe in God, I believe in energy and I believe in the power of positive thinking.  I believe that our past does not define us; and that every day there are thousands of opportunities to change our own lives and the lives of others in ways that are small and in ways that are magnificent.   With that in mind, here is what I think lies ahead:

You will have a terrific marriage.  Your children know they are loved and will lead healthy, happy lives.  You will never stop fighting to find a way to help your son with his autism and everything you are doing makes a difference in his life.  People love you and think you’re great.  Your kindness to others does not go unnoticed and what you are contributing to your family matters a great deal.  Continue to be a loving friend and creative person.  Your friends and family will all be healthy and prosperous and you will live in a world of rainbows and flowers for the rest of your days – Enjoy!  

I’d like to add in that I will….. become a talk show host / singer / motivational speaker and make millions of dollars,  and be able to eat chicken strips and French fries and never gain weight, and travel the world luxuriously and extensively…..but that would simply be TOO unrealistic.  Because psychics at the fair are ENTIRELY realistic.

My lesson here?  Maybe instead of looking to be told what will be, I can dedicate my energies to what I would like to be.  I can focus on what I know is true and go from there.  And I can walk around under the assumption that things are going to turn out okay.
