Go in the Open Door

My wife made life decisions easier for me recently. As we were driving into our parking space, I was driving her car. I park in the right parking stall and she parks on the left. I push the button for the door to open. Of course the left door opened because I was driving her car and using her garage opener, but I was inclined to go into my normal parking space. I was momentarily confused.



When I said to my wife, "I almost turned into the wrong parking space. I was a little confused." She said, "you shouldn't be, it's easy to go into the right one." I asked, "what do you mean?" She said, "it's really no problem which parking space to go to." I was puzzled, "what do you mean?" She said, "it's simple, just go into the opened door!"



That makes it simple when making a decision about what you will do. Just go into the door and pathway that is open to you. I heard a phrase early in life that has stuck with me regarding making life decisions. A friend said to me: "Catch the gleam, follow the bent, and go in the open door."



Recently when I finished a chapter in my life, I asked, "what's next?" Before the week ended I received a call which was a door opening before me. Guess what I did? I remembered my wife's instruction. It was not confusing. It was satisfying to know that it was a open door, and I entered. Once that chapter concludes, I hope I will remember how simple it is forward in my life.



As a child apparently I didn't know the words, "occupation, or profession." When we met someone, we asked, "how do you make a living?" What I was asking what is your way of earning a living. At this stage in my life I no longer am making a living. I'm just living. That to is what I plan to do forward in life.
