It's In The Stars - Deployment Daze 285

So I haven't posted in a while.  Because I have been buried in school work for this damn Master's degree that I decided to pursue.  You know you're in trouble when the teacher tells you that a 12 week course is going to be crammed into 4 weeks without modification.  So view every day as one week's worth of time.  Seriously??!!!  So that is how my June has started and it still going until July 2nd.  Oh did I mention I have two classes this summer.  WTH was I thinking?

Anyway, I have a brief moment in time to mentally relax my mind so I pick up this book I was given called You Astrology Guide to 2010.   It's from my mom.  I open up to June and read, "On a grand scale, your life is being propelled forward and outward, yet you might feel so overwhelmed that you want to go into hiding or flee to a spiritual retreat."  (I just started laughing)  You know one of those maniacal laughs of a person going mad.   Since I'm already finished with June that warning note is a little late.  I guess I should have read this before June happened.  I wonder, "Would it have influenced my decisions?"

That got me thinking, Is our life predestined?  The map laid out in the stars when we were born?  How much influence do we have in changing our course or  are our decisions just leading us to the inevitable?  If we studied our path would we make better choices and avoid pitfalls.  If I had read the book before making my decision about summer courses would it have changed my choices? Or maybe it is not until we have experienced something that we realize the impact of our choices.  Hindsight is 20/20.
Well, this class from hell is winding down.  One more week and then it will just be one class which is a little lighter and more manageable.  Hopefully, I will be able to enjoy my summer and get ready for the return of my soldier husband.  I'm going to be looking at July.  Hopefully it talks about a lot of rest and relaxation.

To my honey, I know we haven't had much time to interact.  I miss you a whole bunch.  In a month you should be here and we can enjoy some fun in the sun.  The boat is waiting and wipers will be popp'n.  My book says that I will fall in love hard and fast with someone who suddenly apears in my life on August 7. Hmmm!  Maybe the stars know more than the US Army.
