Another crossroads, keep moving sign. Any road, just move!

The question is: Should you move if you are down and out?

So many times I feel I 've taken a decision and I am on my way. It doesn't happen that ways. Though I plan incessantly, think of myself as fairly organised still life has its own way of throwing me off- road. Then, I experience a downhill phase, where as I planned an upward climb. I land back to earth, go through a cycle of denial, and try and rise- up again. I tire myself but in the end look back and forgive myself, for things took a turn that were neither expected and sometimes not even imagined- for better or worse.

Whatever little I know of horses ( I do like these elegant animals), they hate to stop. It is not easy for horses to wait at one stop before they reach their destination. They are restless animals. They might take a wrong turn but they like to gallop to their destination. I think I have an equine element in my heart.

Some people say and I'd like to believe that I am strong woman. They are kind to think so, and I pray to god that make me stronger.  But I totally need my family and friends to stand by me firmly. I cannot see them unhappy with the phases I go through.

But I think I am growing wiser...
I understand now why children are still told fairy tales in a tough world. I wondered, "Why do we mislead the young ones with tales of glamour and high hopes?". Its better for children to go through life believing in the power of possible. This is what fairytales do to them: help them have faith in the world around them. So yes, they might wait for magic to happen, but once they start growing up they get the point! I think that's a better way to bring- up kids than show them the big bad world. They stop believing, they are nipped in the bud. I get the point now, how good parenting has helped me believe and cope up with setbacks. I owe to you all,my small and dear family. You help me get out of crossroads, you help me believe. I hope I (can) help you do the same, forever.
