Some times I get a certain idea or thought stuck in my head. I mull it over for days. It continues to manifest it's way into my thoughts until I figure out what I need to do to wrestle with the idea, thought or person.
I was recently watching a TV show (yes, TV can be inspiring). I was struck by the idea of something that was said on that show about great character development in TV characters. The statement was the person "just happens to also be..." as if every person in the universe is not just one dimentional - but also they just happen to be a lot of other things. About looking at a person for who they are.
So I thought of this in context of me. I have so often identified myself with the just so happens to be with the mutlple jobs that I have - from blogger, to hotel sales, to ski lift ticket sales to fitness sales. (Ok, - so maybe I overdo it with sales).
But I also happen to be a mom. I happen to be someone who is a friend, I happen to have other passions and interests.
I have done and I have seen - but I desire more. To see more. To do more. To be this. To be that. I just happen to be a whole lot more than I think I put out there. I am not sure how many other people think of the just so happens to be in everyone else's life.
What else do they have on their plate? What else occupies their thoughts? What do they celebrate? What do they morn? Who were they? Who will they be? Ultimately, to understand a person I have to get to the "what else they happen to be." an dI might be able to better understand....or have them understand me.
