After the ride is over...senses are regained, emotions return to steady state and the head stops spinning. You look back...smile...and think, "yeah, I made it".
Michelle - I just spent two days with my 92 year-old grandmother and we spent part of that time by me "interviewing" her about her life. At the end of it, I asked her what advice she had for us and she shared two thoughts: 1) surround yourself with friends...lots of them...all different sorts of friends...you never know who's going to be around when you need them and you never know who's going to need you. 2) day by day...take life one day at a time. At which point she inserted, "I'm not very good at this." And we laughed. Because she's not. And I'm not. But she went on to say that we really never know what tomorrow may bring so we should take each day as it comes and deal with it then. The wisdom of 92 years...but I think you're already on the right track, my friend!

I haven't felt like that for the longest time...
