I think that most of us, I won’t say all, are looking for a way to redeem ourselves. Redeem ourselves from what is probably as varied as people are, but I think that many of us would like a second chance at something in our lives. I would love a do-over on many things, but that’s not how life works. I also know that if I did things differently, I would be a different person in a different place now. That leaves me stuck in a conundrum. I don’t want to be in a different place or with different people, but I still would like to redeem myself for any number of things from my past.
Since I don’t want to really change my past, I have to find some way to redeem myself going forward. That’s not an easy thing to say, or to face. I’m not ready, willing, or able to post a list of things here that need redeeming. But I do think a little soul-searching is in order. Care to join me?
