Reflecting on Mothering Sunday led me to realise that we can’t always be happy, now I know that is obvious and I already know it, but we live in a world which seems to convince us that it is possible to be happy all the time, and that the aim of life is to always be happy. Today for example I struggled with the whole mothering Sunday thing as I felt a long way away from my family, also their was a dedication of a baby at church this morning, and one of my very good friends had a baby this week that I am unlikely to see for many months. I realised that to a certain extent my unhappiness was the result of my choices. I then reminded myself that I wouldn’t want to be living near my family, and that because of these choices there are many things that I do and can enjoy which I wouldn’t be enjoying had I made the choices that would have made me happier today. I guess I’m just being reminded that life isn’t perfect and that having days when were sad is fine, because there aren’t all the pieces available to make life perfect.
