Certainty? I am always looking for it, chasing it, and hoping to grasp it. But, it is uncertainty that I know I can count on, whether I like it or not 🙂

I’ve been dealing with lots of uncertainties lately…like will the painter show up. will our kitchen ever have lights, will the granite be what we hoped for….I’m returning from a long summer break as we reach the end of Renovation Road.:~)

Be good to yourself:~)

As for certainty – the only thing 100% I’m certain of is that nothing is certain. :/

To speculate on your mysteries du jour, in order:

I am quite certain you are.
I have no idea.
Gosh, I hope so!

I find that I have abandoned certainty, or it abandoned me. I’ve become quite comfortable with uncertainty, as it seems inevitable and “real” – with certainty little more than our self-protective pretense of control.

That said, I do like probabilities, and believe we can increase the probabilities of outcomes we desire through action. Are there guarantees? Of course not. But upping the likelihood of “good” doesn’t seem too bad, to me.

Thought provoking post Belinda. Missed you and glad you are back! xoxo

Certainty is one of those things that bugged me for decades, impelled me to micromanage, make lists, set goals, chart goals, and so on. The worst action it caused was spending too much time setting the stage for a course of action, and getting bogged down in the details of the stage set rather than going ahead and improvising the play itself, getting on with the performance even if the blocking and the lines weren’t finished–as it never is, of course, in real life. Great post, and hope you had a lovely summer.

ONE LOVE
