UNIVERSAL TRAVELLER*

So what do you do when you are traveling with no brakes, surrounded by clouds with blurry vision, and are headed through a dark tunnel with a cliff at the end and the ocean on one side? Well, stopping is no option. Do you attempt to turn around or do you make a sharp turn to the left or right?

I tried to turnaround, but I was told that going back to the past was not an option. So I turned left and guess what, I didn't go over the edge and suddenly, the skies cleared and I could see the light, to the right, on the other side.

Sometimes the only way forward is to follow your instincts and trust that the people who love you will guide you through, whatever path you choose.

You will not believe the unbelievable stuff that I have been trying to navigate through - an unsettled divorce, crippling debt from my manic episode, my young son battling depression, and trying to sell a home in what is perhaps the worst economy our country has ever faced.

Then, there is my mind. Going from one extreme to the next, and trying to make sense of the poles of my life.

By the way, I thought I lost my glasses the other day, for real, and my son found them on the floor of the car. For real.
