Delays and Detours

Sometimes things just can't go according to plan; others, well what can I say?
what do I have to say about the things that go correctly? Absolutely nothing, after all what can I say if everything goes as planned?

However, lets talk detours; something that cant be helped even though no one really wants them at the start. You're going down the road that is your life then, bang. Dead End. You're left wondering "what the hell just happened?"

My friend, you've just hit a detour, and now your spinning out of control wondering where your path is.........problem is; detours often lead to crossroads, and we all know what those are like.

The trick is though, don't try and take control when you are still spinning, sounds obvious I know, but trust me you would be surprised how many forget in a panic. That just makes matters worse because then you're not just spinning out of control......you're pretending that you know what you're doing too, which makes it your problem when you slam into a wall at top speed.

I say this for the benefit of all who read, and as a constant remainder to myself, I've just recently recovered from attempting to take control of my life when it spun......I managed to stop inches from the wall, but I know that I will probably never be that lucky again.

I'm learning to count my blessings........this was definitely one of my biggest ones.
