180 Degrees

I'm not really sure if there is any way to prepare for your life to make a complete 180. Actually, I'm pretty sure there isn't. I guess you just jump on and hold on tight, and that's what makes life exciting. (Although, if you ask anyone who has spent a day with me at an amusement park too many sudden turns doesn't usually end well.)

I've been thinking of some of the 180 type turns I'll have to make (most of them for the better).

Life Now
My day winds down around 7 a.m.
Life to Come
