Begin Again

"Rock bottom is good solid ground, and a dead end street is just a place to turn around." (Buddy Buie and J. R. Cobb, "Rock Bottom") That's where the unexpected life begins, in my opinion. Rock bottom. A dead end street. Although it's not always a Ponzi scheme that puts you there. Sometimes it's divorce. Unemployment. Addiction. Sickness. Death of a loved one. Any number of things that are life, any thing that can happen in the life of anyone. I think what we forget, in the initial moments that try our souls, is that rock bottom IS good, solid ground. A dead end street really IS a good place to turn around. And begin again. Rebuild. Press forward. Carry on. Never give up. Start over." If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again." (Flavia Weedn) A piece is good. It's enough. And that's all you need for an unexpected life!
