Allow Me to Digress

I haven’t written anything for October and I feel I have to write one before the month ends. (Years from now, when I go through my blogs, I’ll have an idea of what happened to me at least in each month. Hehe :) 

I got a call today from someone I can consider a mentor and got a short "sermon" on opportunities.  She was offering me something that I don’t think I can commit to right now, so I said, I’m sorry I can’t do that because I’m doing this and this.  She said that I should never turn down opportunities even if I don’t see it happening anytime soon.  I have to consider it and at least express my interest if I am interested.  Maybe in the future, when I can actually do it, I can still go back to that.  Confusing?

What is the best opportunity in the world?  Opportunity to love and be loved. Haha! Forgive my attempt to come up with a quote on opportunity.  I’ve already found a lot of quotes and couldn’t agree more.  Can’t think of anything else to add to those for now.  Here are better quotes I just thought of posting about opportunities in general.
