Upside Down

I can't sleep. So I write.
I keep thinking about this past weekend's events.
It's funny when you think you have someone figured out only to learn they are not the person you thought they were. But now I know that's OK. That is what life is about-learning from your mistakes.
I remember when I left Glasgow and came to Western. I thought my life was figured out. I was going to go to school, graduate in four years, marry Andreu, support him through medical school, and by 30 we would have two kids and a couple of dogs...maybe even a cat.
Oh how I was wrong.
But that is also ok.
This common theme seems to reoccur in my life. I would expect that it occurs in everyone's. Life tends to throw us for loops occasionally...right at the moment when you think you have it figured out.
Why is that? I don't pretend to know the answer to that one.
But I have learned that no matter how hard you may try, you can't plan life, because right when you think you have it all together, your world can be turned upside down. And another thing I have learned...when your world is turned upside down, embrace it. Enjoy it. Hang upside down for as long as it takes, because it is at those times, when our world is upside down, that we learn. We grow. We change for the better.
