Ever had those days when the only word you can utter on a consistent basis is, "REALLY" or "For REAL"? If you answered, "NO", I suggest you get back in your spaceship and go back to the planet you came from. I am sure you just arrived here and it's a great possibility you may find life easier to understand, where you were.

On the other hand, if you decide to stay here on Earth, let me hip you to my point of view, this past week. FYI, a lot of Earthlings share this type of week from time to time. It is a random thing that happens and we are not sure when or how often it will occur.

Here we go...

This week I was FRUSTRATED... It was a 'confused frustrated' state of mind. The path to get to my goals were arduous, time-consuming, mind bending and seemingly NON sensical. I found myself saying, repeatedly, "You've GOT to be kidding me!"

My goals were simple. No tough stuff involved. However, some force, somewhere, somehow... managed to plop unforeseen 'detour' signs all over the place. It was a chore to get Simple crap done! And I DO mean SIMPLE CRAP!

Let me give you an example. I was attempting to go to the end of the block. Started out my front door, passed a couple of houses and BAM, the street is being blocked off so, now, I have to walk around the entire block to get to the end of my block. As I approach the end of my block from the other side, there is another set of vehicles in the way and a sign stating that I need to cross the street, walk on the other side and come back around. I finally got to the end of my block but it was AROUND THE WAY! I mean, come on... it's just the END OF THE BLOCK!

It has been a week of detours. All I could do was go silent. Complaining seemed to use more energy than I had left in me. Last night, I sat in bed in quiet contemplation. Suddenly, I yelled out loud after a day of 'detours', "OK, God, if you were going to let me get to my destination, why did you have to make me go around so many turns and stressful mood swings to get there? Couldn't you just let me see my way without all that stress and DRAMA? Couldn't you just give me a little hint that I was going to get there and show me signs that would help me relax in the process?"

I sat quietly, relieved that I had reached my goals but tired from the frustration of the journey. Exhausted, I plopped back on the pillow with a major attitude. Then, I heard, "There is NO straight line. Stay calm, determined and focused. You'll be alright, it's just life."

Now, I don't know if that was my MIND or some other voice. It could have been my brain trying to self-correct during a moment of insanity that had taken over. However, it made a LOT of sense. Whoever was speaking, caused a light to come on for me. I began to think about all the things I have accomplished and the ways I got there. It was NEVER a straight shot to the goal. There seems to be always some sort of twist or turn or SOMETHING. Those 'somethings' are things I look back and laugh about, now.

I don't know about yours but in my life, there have been NO straight lines even when the path APPEARED straight. I've learned to live with it because it is the things I have learned while navigating my frustrated 'detours' that have helped me appreciate and cherish goals that have been completed. contend that is what living this human existence is about... fully experiencing the moments between the start and the finish.

Keep turning those corners. That is what life is about. Really...Fah Real!
