Missteps

Have you ever had something go right for a time... and then really wrong?

It's the most frustrating thing to me. One minute, you're sure that everything's going to be just fine. The air is clear, your way is sure. And then suddenly, you trip over something and lose your balance.

This can be literal, of course, but it can also be metaphorical. Life has this way of tripping us up sometimes, and when this happens we can often wonder if we're on the right path after all. I mean, what does it mean when you're so close to getting what you want, and then suddenly you're met with a roadblock?

What do you do? Turn around and go back home?

Or do you simply find another route to your destination?

It's tempting to do the former, but I've been learning that delay doesn't equal denial. I can still get where I'm going, even when it takes me a little while longer to get there.

Anyway, I'll have a better blog post pretty soon. Just wanted to check in.

Until next time, keep breathing.
