WE die on the day when our lives cease to be illuminated by the steady radiance renewed daily, of a wonder the source of which is beyond all measure and comprehension

Hi
Sometimes in our life our path takes turns and goes down some rocky roads.  Before we can even realize it, we are in the middle of some crisis that there seems to be no answer to.  It has been my experience that these are the times when we need to remember that our lives DO take turns in different directions, no matter how well planned or thought out.  This is what gives our lives balance.  It helps to build strength and character.
It is NOT an easy thing to correct sometimes.  I have had this happen to me a lot, and you know what I found out?   I found out that the times I decided to stand my ground and do the right thing, that these were the times when I was strongest.
We don't necessarily need strength when things are going along well, we can just kind of coast through, which is a good thing actually.   It is when our lives DO turn in a different direction, when we find out who we really are
I find myself in something like that now, as I look around. There are things that are out of balance, and I Know that the solution is up to me. At least as far as my own life.  I have been here before, and will be again I'm certain.  That's life.  The way I look at it, I can sit down and worry, or I can DO something about it.    My Grandpa always told me, "the answer lies in that first step-  make it a good one."   So it's time to take that step.
If you are in the same situation, all I can say is, YOU can do it. Give it a shot.  and...Dream on.
