Half the time, when you thinkyou've taken a wrong turn, a door opens that is a better door. It's anew door you didn't have access to before, because you were so orientedin the other direction. The majority of things you are beating yourselfup about are things that are being answered by the Universe!

If you really think about it, youcan always know what's going to happen next: I'm going to be there. I'mgoing to help. And there will be miracles. ~ The Universe

@LegendaryD - yeah I remember her and that song. I always liked those lyrics. Hadn't heard it in a long time. Gave it a listen this morning :). That's perceptive... I often feel that way about life. :)

For some silly reason, everytime I hear the song - "Both Sides Now" by Judy Collins (I'm sure you heard of her. 60's folk singer), it reminds me of you. She gives off this really peaceful, down-to-earth nature loving vibe. But if you haven't heard the song though, check it out. Anyhow, I know you -
Actually it was quite beautiful outside only....I was stuck indoors. Boo!
-
@LegendaryD - lol just read it, Thanks! Looking up labyrinth took me off on an M. C. Escher tangent... it was a very entertaining diversion. Now to check out Mazes and Monsters!

I replied to your comment about the movie, in my entry. Just in case you didn't get it. But yes, wrong movie. "Mazes and Monsters", is the one I meant. Haha.
