De ja Vu!

Apparently life is here to teach us lessons. The question is do we ever learn from these lessons? Are we getting it?

So often, I think to myself, after another occurence of procrastinating and then deciding the obvious way to go would be organised, why was I not organised in the first place? Why did I not do it this way in the beginning? I mean, duh, it was so much easier this way!!

Over the past few weeks I have been very busy, amidst the throes of trying to shake off a devlish virus, with concerts, work, freelance stuff, reading a terrific book (Stieg Larsson book 2 is soo much better than book 1), movies, TV shows, seeing friends...thank goodness excercise has not been in the mix. At first I was floundering, panicking at how I was going to get everything done, but as the weeks have gone by, I've started having some fun and all purely thanks to the fact that I decided to get my little ducks in a row.



And just the other night, as I was working on my little row of ducks, it dawned on me: I've had this experience before. De ja Vu! But why did I not learn from my previous experience? Why had I forgotten this simple life lesson.

Is this the purpose of life? To experience and re-experience these lessons until we finally acknowledge "I got the Message!". What makes one lesson more important than the other? How quickly we change our behaviour or do we have these experiences because, as much as they may seem a lot like a previous occurence, there is something new to learn?

All I know is that I wish I'd pick up on this Ducks in a Row lesson, it would make my life so much easier!!!
