Life's Twists & Turns

.

A familiar scene in life? I bet. Mine often is. Its sometimes assuring to know that it is normal, and if you stay on course, you too will get to the end point (whatever you may desire).

.

Words like detour, backtrack, reverse, digress, slow-down, stuck, lost, deviate, wander-away, stray, off-course, swerve are all synonym to the picture above.

.

Do you have a friend? A mentor? A buddy? A keeper? Someone to call upon when you sway, stray, or get betrayed by life's wicked hands?

.

I have. And that's why I am still here, with my sanity.

.

Hope you find a few travellers in life that will be a pillar of support and guide in the journey of life.

.

But most of all, be one to others.
