sounds familiar... when i was in college racking up huge debt i kept trying to imagine what the future job would be, what would my life be, doing all that work and worrying that it wouldn't pay off..

sometimes i think life turns out some ways we never imagined... i know i never thought it'd be the way it is.. and despite all my complaining and moaning, it isn't the worst i imagined... in fact, there's very beautiful times...

we plan and map our lives like an appointment book.. even the best schedulers know to be flexible...

you try to guide this way or that and in the winds of life the ship may change its course... sometimes you may fear a total capsize...

i've always loved the old ocean going movies... where the sailors fight the storm, hanging onto the wheel in the fiercest conditions... throwing the mast, dodging lightening and waves...

my favorite part is when they pull into port with smiles on their face.. weathered, worn, dirty... to begin it all again next time...

hang in there, ok?
