I’ve got Green Day, the band, on the mind. Over and over for the past few days I’ve had the song Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) in my head. More specifically, the line:

“It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right,
I hope you have the time of your life.” – Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), Green Day

It’s Something Unpredictable

Life is unpredictable. We don’t know where we’ll end up and sometimes we don’t even know how we got started. There are ups and downs; happy days and down right terrible days. Sometimes, we wonder what it’s all about.

But In the End It’s Right

And then, one of those defining moments comes along. One of those times when you know all is good, that you’ve tried your best, and you have no regrets. One of those moments when everything, if even for just a small amount of time, is absolutely clear. You are certain. You are strong. You are headed down the correct path. When all the chaos of this life gets out of hand, it’s these defining moments that let us know that, “in the in it’s right.” It is then that I realize I’ve lived life the best that I know how.

The Time of My Life

There are still plenty of things to learn and I have a lifetime yet to discover all the wonderful stuff in store. And I can’t help but think, even though my life has turned out differently than I ever planned, I certainly am having the time of my life.

Continuing the Journey

If there’s one thing I can do as I continue to live this journey we call life, it’s to choose the right. When I choose the right, I can live my life to the fullest. I don’t have to worry about regrets, because I’m making the decisions that are un-regrettable. As I have “the time of my life” I’m going to continue to wear my CTR ring. My CTR ring will help me to stay on the path I need to be on. It will help me become the woman I know I need to be.

I think Green Day got it right.
