Mulligan

“Mulligan” is a word that has been coming up in my life the last few weeks over and over again. I don’t play golf, but someone told me some time ago it was a word that meant “do over” in the sport. I’m so wanting a do over in multiple things these days.

Ironically, while I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, I’ve seen three other people mention the same concept. Something in the air? A friend suggested today that maybe it’s the result of the earthquake affecting the Earth’s rotation. Perhaps so. Things certainly feel off-kilter.

As is often the case in life, I want to hit rewind and try a few things again. I realize there would be benefit to handling things a different way, with different timing, with more knowledge, with some additional background. A mulligan. A do over.

Unfortunately, life doesn’t provide us with those. We have to seek them out, humbly and kindly. Sometimes we’re blessed with a mulligan and sometimes not.

Regardless, life marches on ahead and there’s not much to do but go with it. And you might as well do it with a smile..
