Mistake (s)
Ever made a mistake in your life ? Ever made the same mistake twice ? Ever wish you could make the same mistake all over again ? How often do you think of your mistakes ? When you think of the biggest mistake ever made in your life what is it ? Would you do it all over again if you could turn back the hands the time ?
I make mistakes daily. I’ll snap at someone when I should have been more patient.(Is that really a mistake or a character flaw ?) I’ll turn left instead of turning right. I’ll get the dates wrong for a book signing. My mistakes are endless. I’m nowhere near perfect. Thank goodness. I’d hate to try and have to live up to a perfect image.
Oscar Wilde says, "experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes". All I can say is "dang, I’ve got a lot of experience". I’ve got areas of my life where I am trying to gain more experience. Hence, I’m making tons of mistakes. This is one of them : 
. I love this photo. It is the wave washing upon the shore in Maui, Hawaii. Why do I call it a mistake ? Because I was standing on the shore, taking photos of the whales out in the ocean. I was holding the focus button down with my finger so that the minute I saw a whale I could immediately snap the picture. I mistakenly took this picture. I didn’t know that I had even taken it till I was back in the car and reviewing my photos. I almost deleted it. That would have been the biggest mistake. I love that the air bubbles in the water are so clear. I love that I can look over and over at the wave washing over that tiny piece of beach. I’ve titled this photo "This Too Shall Pass Just Like A Wave".
So, the next time you make a mistake or gain some more experience just be grateful and remember that all mistakes are not bad. Some turn out to be pretty good.
