Be Careful What You Ask For :)

Be careful what you ask for. I can't count the number of times I have heard that. And there's a reason for it. Ask for all to be made new, for example, and the beginning of your answer will be the death of the old.
So now, I have dubbed 2008 my Year of Deconstruction. In 2008, I experienced the systematic deconstruction of many of the structures of my life, chiefly my self-concept. But what is a self-concept but a collection of ideas? Ideas that when examined closely, seldom have any basis in fact.
Would I go back and change this deconstruction? No way! I am building of my life a temple, and I wouldn't want to build a temple on a cracked foundation.
So, the truth is, I won't be careful. I want growth and realization of my highest good, even though it will cost me all that I claim to be, to own, to have - every attachment. It is well worth the cost.

Cathy I have had a decade of deconstruction, made longer because I
don’t like to let go of things. Spirit works with what she’s got, so
it’s all right in the end. Careful what you ask for… Lots of
insideous messages in that old saw.
I am looking now at what I have been careful not to ask for that I know now I really really want :o)
Happy to meet you, on the upside of your creation phase.
