When Things Don't Go As Planned

Have you ever had your plans blow up in your face? To the point where you seriously have to re-evaluate what you should be doing with your life? That happened to me today. I'm still trying to figure things out. I had this vision of what life would be like, and it's not going to happen anymore. At least not right now.

I feel like Derice at the beginning of the movie "Cool Runnings" when he fails to qualify for the Olympics because a fellow runner trips and knocks him over.

Derice knew he could have qualified. But he's told that he'll just have to wait four more years. To come so close to fulfilling a dream and then being told to wait is a hard pill to swallow. So Derice figures out a way to get to the Olympics earlier--by forming the first Jamacan Bobsled team to compete in the Winter Olympics.

I guess I'll just have to figure out what my "bobsled" will be.

Rhetorically,
