So many things in our lives have a lot to do with timing, Relationships, Jobs, Sport (for those skilled) and even everyday menial tasks.  At different stages in our lives we put things down to 'bad timing' when something doesn't quite work or doesn't go the way it was supposed to.  Some people seem to put too much emphasis on timing, because people sometimes need something else to blame rather than themselves.  On the other hand though, there are genuine examples on where timing can be askew in a situation that could possibly work in the future.  As I sit here I can't help but wonder; will those 'bad timing' situations ever re-present themselves at the 'right time' and will we try it again?

How many of you have a situation where you think that if the timing had been different it would have either gone your way, lasted a lifetime or even just made you smile?  What about when you thought that if something hadn't of happened then, it wouldn't have had the same impact?  Relationships, global events, disasters and even life happens around us everyday, but why then? Why now? Who decides these things?

Over the past month, I have had so many things come into fruition that has made me question a lot in regards to my job, my life and even about love.  Working life in a call centre always has its ups and downs, it's full of monotonous menial tasks that I either get bored with, or have fun with.  Of late I am struggling to have fun with any of it.  People are becoming more irritating and the pressure is becoming too much for people to handle. 

All of a sudden doing these same tasks just doesn't do it for me anymore and I have been persuing other job opportunities.  The question arises; why now?  Why not 6 months ago? What is different?  Have I got to a stage where I've had enough rather than just try enjoying it?  When I first started to dislike the job why didn't I look then?  I think that in this situation I myself wasn't ready to leave my job.  Over the past couple of months I have been able to get myself into the mind-frame that I can find something better, more enjoyable and more recognition for my skills.

I have informed you all that over the last few months I have been in contact with The_One and we have really become close once again.  Picture messages daily, phone calls, smiles and genuine emotion is back in our relationship again.  I have been told that The_One is moving back to Brisbane.  Messages have been exchanged about feelings, what-ifs and when this move is to take place.  I have dreamt about the day that those words would come from his mouth, even just to see him and have him apart of my life once more. 

Now the time has come, have I thought beyond him coming back?  If our relationship were to rekindle is the timing going to be right on this occassion?  Years have passed since we were last together physically and emotionally.  We both have grown, lived and experienced more in our lives and know what we want.  I can't speak for him but I know that the timing is right.  It won't be easy, but I know in my heart that it's perfect timing.

The Corporate Games is on the 20th of May.  I am playing tennis for Telstra, starting training again after a 3-4year lay off.  Timing of shot has returned, along with all the same problems (I'm so f'd up mentally!) but I think that the time off has done me well.  I have lived a lot since the racquet was put in the bag and I hung up my shoes.  I know what is out there and what I need to do to succeed.  I'm more determined to improve and see where my skills can take me.  The timing is right on this one, I can feel it.

It can be a second, a minute, a day, month or even years that have to pass by before a situation will once again arise itself and it change our lives.  I think we notice these situations come again as they were ones that impacted us quite significantly and deep down we know have the power to change us completely.  At the end of the day I realise that I had more growing, learning and living to do before these things in my life can occur.  I just wasn't ready for them.  Have you ever stopped to think that you were ready for every situation thrown at you?  Furthermore, have you ever thought about when you get that chance again?
