That’s how life is. We try hard, real hard sometimes, to draw a straight line between where we are and where we want to be. Often times though, things go sideways.

Planned to get work early, car troubles slow you down.

Intent in eating healthy, the pie called you from the fridge.

Set to finish your report, the math didn’t look right.

Ready to do the presentation, your computer crashed.

And on and on and on. The best laid plans of mice and men sometimes (often?) go awry. We’ve all been there.

Keep going forward. You don’t have to go in a straight line. Just keep going.
