We live.. We're here on a short journey, one that is constantly testing our every step, our every word, our every action. We're faced with the most random drivers along the way- the occasional maniac who gets in your way from out of the blue, the not-so-uncommon bump from behind, the acquaintances who simply greet you as they pass by, or the friends who jump in and keep you company for parts of the ride.
It's not always easy, this journey. The road isn't always nice and sleek, but you keep going nonetheless. Every once in a while, you run out of fuel, a tire flattens, the engine blows, but you find a way out, you get it fixed, and you jump back in and go on with the ride. Why? Because you have to. You're on a journey. It's up to you to never give up on it. It's yours to overcome the scratches and speed bumps you'll undeniably face. It's yours to enjoy, to feel the wind in your hair, the sun on your face, the beautiful view surrounding you. It's your ride.. Your moment of truth.. Indulge in it.
People will try to get in your way, and they may be hard to push aside sometimes. They may succeed at pulling you back. They may decide to suddenly leave you behind. But if you can overcome that, does it really matter why they did it to begin with? Brush it off, but learn the lesson.. And vow not to make their same mistake. Be grateful that you were blessed with the strength to keep going, the piece of mind that they can't ever mess around with, and the incessant belief in your dignified self. They will always be there, those bumps in the road, the road blocks meters up ahead, the miserable storm that blocks your view. There's no running away from them. The only way out is to face it all, head up. Overcome it, and keep going. The journey is yours and you can make something wonderful out of it.
Savvy Doc.

Sometimes the journey changes the path you had in mind and all of a sudden you're not driving...you've taken a pause!
sit back and enjoy the sun, we all need that now, before we start again, while you can... I don't think i'll be pausing that often these days!! :P
"It's your ride.. Your moment of truth.. Indulge in it."

What's left when everything is gone..
This post reminds me of a qoute i read in a book sometime in the past:
"When you hit that unexpected bump in the road, it's only a bump in a road" Dave Pelzer..
Thank you for sharing your ponderings sav!
