Week 2.50: Fortune Cookie

Week 2.50: Fortune Cookie is a photo I've been sitting on for a while. It's a fortune that was randomly left on the counter at work. I kept hanging on to it, trying to imagine a good background for it...and then my sister and I managed to burn a pan while cooking dinner one night. Voila! The background I'd been waiting for!!!

"Do what is right, not what you should."

Profundity.

Being the girl I am, I can often struggle with "Right" vs. "Should." One of the biggest issues is that sometimes "Right" and "Should" go hand-in-hand while at other times they are in direct opposition to one another. Figuring out which one it is is often a challenge for me.

And then there's the whole "Being Right" thing...which is often grey to me. And sometimes "Doing Right" takes so much more effort than the social norm of "Should."

I think as a woman this tends to be a tricky subject. We all know what we "Should" do. Sometimes "Right" doesn't even make it on the radar because "Should" is screaming so darn loud... Life just seems to come crowding round, jostling us forward and bending us toward "Should" when "Right" is actually staring us straight in the eye.

Sheesh.

Tough. But so worth weighing it out. I don't need to "Be Right" all the time. But I DO want to "Do Right" as often as I can. "Should" can just go stand in the corner for a minute.

Should I fold that laundry? Wash that dish? Type that thing? Make that phone call? Sure.

But my Love just walked in the door. I'm going right to him. It's "Right."
