Magic and Merlin and Reality, oh my

Life is like one of those big balls that keep revealing little treasures as they are unwound.

I never know what is coming up next, but it is usually interesting and often fun.

The secret seems to be to always have hope, but avoid expectations and believe that, "this or something better will manifest."

It really requires patience and faith, two big ingredients that distinguish one person from another. When those people from the sixties say, "hang in there," it's really good advice. 

And if I can BELIEVE it I think that might even change the whole outcome.  Making me sort of my own personal wizard, a Merlin of the highest sort, directing my own life instead of handing it over to someone else.

Slow and steady magic.
