Life...

There is one thing that is certain in life, it never stays the same. You are cruising down the highway of life with the windows down, hair blowing in the wind, and singing at the top of your lungs while your children beg you to stop when you read the sign ahead "DETOUR". You  begin to panic. Your mind races. Your heart accelerates. You are uncertain what is ahead. This detour can mean many things. A change of job, change in a relationship, or a change in health and so on. Whatever this detour is one thing is certain, your current path is about to change. 

Change used to send me into a panic. Every once in awhile it still does. The word change used to cause me to hyperventilate. However, lately I have realized something. You can't change the past. You can only make the best decisions you know how to in order to influence the future in the best way possible. 

I have made good choices in my life. I have made some really crappy ones too. I take full responsibility for all my decisions. Both my good and bad choices have lead me down a detour or two. However, I do know this. The future holds many things, some will be good and some will be bad. I have made a choice. The next time I approach the "DETOUR" sign I am going to continue to cruise with my windows down and sing at the top of my lungs because no matter what the future holds I am going to go along with it. I can only hope and pray to fully enjoy the good and try to make the best out of the bad. 

So next time you are cruising along and you see that "DETOUR" sign, continue belting out Stevie Nicks because no matter what, you have the power to make the best out of the change that is about to happen!
