I've been thinking this week about who writes the story of our lives. Clearly we're influenced by lots of factors, circumstances and the people who play their part in it, but ultimately I believe we are the authors of our own story unless we choose to hand that power over to someone else (there's a meme isn't there that goes something like don't put the keys to your happiness in someone else's pocket).
Still loving the "embracing uncertainty" book, I'm getting to be curious rather than apprehensive about what the upcoming chapters might contain. They're likely to keep the same recurrent themes of the book - love, courage, delight, encouragement, relationship - tho the details are not yet apparent.
What are the themes of your story? Are there any you want to work on writing out and new ones you want to develop?
I just have one day left of work but am a bit tempted to design the cover - it would have my favourite photo of myself, in my bright yellow coat, holding the "you are beautiful" sign and would be mainly orange and yellow. I don't think we can really be summed up in one image (thankfully!) so maybe everyone's cover would be much more busy with more images than that, but as a starting cover concept, I'm happy :)
