Shades of Gray

I had a moment of self discovery last weekend while flying home from Colorado . I realized that my black or white thinking might need to be altered a bit. I am starting to learn that sometimes there are gray areas in life. Some answers might not fit the categories of: yes or no, right or wrong, now or never, all or nothing. But maybe sometimes situations or circumstances might fall into that “gray zone”. That in between space in which something can’t be categorized as a definite measurable time, thing or answer. But really I suppose that is all of life. No one truly knows what the future holds. We can only hope for the best, set some goals and dreams but even they have to be changed or altered. I guess the logical thing to do is to just accept how are life is and really appreciate those simple little things that bring us enjoyment. It doesn’t benefit anyone when they dwell on the past and think about what could have been. And it is certainly a waste of time worrying about what might be in the future. The gray zone in life appears to be NOW. The present moment. The in between of being born and dying. Peace is only going to come to me from living in the now and letting go of the past and future.
