Everyone Makes Mistakes!

We all make mistakes but some of us don't like to admit it. My kids are always saying that to me, "Oh, you NEVER make a mistake, huh mom?" Well, yesterday, I created this blog and thought since I had gotten my first one up pretty easily last week, that this one would also follow a similar pattern. As I quickly registered it and sent it to my webmaster to add to the Adding Wisdom Award site, she noticed I had added an extra letter in the url. In reviewing what she was pointing out, she was totally correct. Good eye - that gal! So, I looked it up in the help menu that "blogger" offers and found others, who in their haste, had done the same thing. That always makes a person feel better. However, instead of the suggestion another blogger offered, I simply went into the SETTINGS page and took out the extra letter and saved the updates. Within minutes, maybe even seconds, it was corrected. YAY! WOW! Wouldn't it be great if every mistake in life could be this easy? Just delete it -- and it's fixed? Guess what came to mind? The not so old movie, Click, with Adam Sandler. Have you seen it? If not, it's now out on DVD. He finds a universal remote control and soon the magic of it becomes a might weapon in his hands...clicking through this and that, like real life challenges with family, parenting, work, etc. It's pretty cool. Nevertheless, the remote's internal database becomes molded (programmed) from previous "clicks" and skips forward anywhere from 6 to 12 months, and so on. What ends up happening is that the sometimes negative daily hassles are skipped -- which is kind of sweet. On the other hand, the things in life that matter, spouse, kids, family, etc., also get bypassed, (which could also be *cool*), but the bottom line reflects a negative one, i.e., missed birthdays, anniversaries, family meals, kids' activities, illness, relationships with one's parents and spouse...sharing and growing with one's family. Anyway, not to give the whole movie plot away, it ends on a happy note. My comparison is just that while I was able to delete one letter and save the url with one strike of the keyboard, it's best to learn from our mistakes (even though we don't want to all of the time). I guess we all just need to slow down -- get my drift?
