Another Storm

I know, it's been a whole week since I have written to you.

Life in it's dubious way , had a few detours in store for me over the last couple of days.

The turbulent waters that I found myself in seemed as if they would sink my ship.

There are times in life when the only way to weather a storm is to completely pull down your sails.

Eventually the tempest will subside .

While the storm has not completely passed,it has let up enough for me to hoist my sails and turn them to the wind and once again be off on my Journey.

I have weathered the fury of this latest onslaught. It's time to assess the damage,take stock of my resources and to chart a course of action. 

The winds of change will always continue to blow.

Like any good captain,I must learn how to set my sails accordingly.

It's 4 a.m. and for the first time in a week the waters around me are still.

I have no idea what the morning will bring or which direction the winds will be blowing in.

I do know that I have the wherewithal and the know how to adjust my sails accordingly.

as I sit here writing to you , the chirping of birds has begun. First one or 2 . Then a few more. 

I should probably try and get some sleep. 

A new day will dawn soon and I will surely want to be as well rested as possible when it does.

Storms are scary.and then they pass. 

And then we sail on!
