Never Assume

Never Assume...
Last night we wanted to record our first ever Hyde ‘N Seek Goes Out. We were starving so it was an easy decision to go out to eat and record our supper. We went to Lee Gardens restaurant in Sylvan Lake and enjoyed an incredible variety of dishes. We had the greatest waiter (who I won’t mention his name because I forgot to get his permission, I just assumed it would be ok). We picked the best table, seated our selves at the front but couldn’t get our recording device to work. Our waiter helped us get started and we were off! We captured on video an amazing evening of conversation, laughter, and fun. Our waiter, a 19 year old, white male and whom we found out also a survivor of the Rh Factor...Did I mention he can speak some Cantonese? Anyways he was very comfortable in front of the camera adding his views on our diverse conversations. We honestly could not have choreographed this evening and done it justice. We thought we had the “best night out” captured for your viewing pleasure. We got home and couldn’t wait to watch it but for some reason the audio did not work! We never thought to check that everything worked before we left. Never assume anything is going to work just because you want it to! In fact, never assume...
Our assumptions are probably the number one reason we have conflict in our lives. Conflict with others, because we assume we know their motivations behind their actions. Conflict within ourselves, because of our assumptions that we are not worthy or not good enough. Too many people live their lives based on false assumptions and not seeking the truth. What if we decided to stop making assumptions? Would that go against our natural human instinct, or would it allow us to live true and have the freedom to live our best lives knowing we are worthy simply because “I AM”? Not because of what others THINK I AM.
My blog followers YOU MISSED OUT because of our recording defects. We stopped off at the local store and came home with David Beckham Gillette Series foaming gel, two Venus Breeze razors, two tubes of Pringles Chips, a big bag of nuts, a bottle of Cab Sauv, a Riesling and the latest issue of Vanity Fair with Tiger Woods on the cover. Friends don’t make any assumptions......until we have our technical problems fixed.
