The Burning Question

What is your burning question today?

My burning question today is "What shall I blog about?" and so I have chosen to write about life's questions.

Some days I have important burning questions; some days I have seemingly silly and unimportant burning questions. Some questions (even though the answer comes quickly & easily) are grave and have a profound effect on my life. Other questions (even though the answer comes with much difficulty & contemplation) are simple and straighforward. Sometimes I have one question which seems to plague me the entire day, other times I have what seems like hundreds of questions that continue on and on throughout the day; as soon as I have answered one another will pop up.

My memory serves to remind me of one very important question "Shall I marry?". The answer I quickly and easily came up with was 'Yes' and as I look back on my life the answer should have been the opposite; I came up with the wrong answer for this situation. Having said that if I hadn't married I would never have had the two beautiful children I had nor the three wonderful grandchildren I was blessed with. So although I believe I came up with the wrong answer I certainly reaped some rewards from my answer to that question.

Another question that comes up almost every single day "What shall I wear?". This pretty simple question can sometimes occupy several agonizing minutes of time before I have it answered.

Some people say that if you look long enough and hard enough you will always find an answer but I think some questions have answers, some it seems I can find no answers to. I have been faced with such a question as "Why ever did she treat me like that?". I can examine, research, delve into and search for an answer for a very long time & eventually realize I will never know the answer to that particular question; I can only guess at an answer.

Burning questions..........questions............

It is said life is all about choices but, in order to make a choice we must first have asked a question, so maybe life is really all about questions. What do you think?

When I have answered my burning question of the day though (or decided there is no answer to be found) I have most often discovered that whether important or silly there was a purpose for the question to have come up; I followed a process to get to the answer and learned something along the way so don't ignore any of your questions. Search for an answer; you may gain surprising insight in your search.
