Eat a peach

Sometimes life throws us a road block, a bump in the road, a patch of sand that offers no traction. Life is a fantastic ride sometimes. Other times…Life’s a bitch. What can you do? Take what lies in the road, do your best to handle it, and hope you come out on the other side a better person for it (or at least alive and kicking).

Sometimes the bump is too much, you lay your bike down, slide into the crane and BAM! Eat a Peach! Other times, life slows down, Matrix style, and you skillfully negotiate all the bumps, ruts and potholes, miss going head on with a semi, and sail out smoothly back to normal time…back on the road, enjoying the drive. Maybe the past is the past…or maybe you learned a new skill, have a new appreciation for life.

I’ve got a few friends that seem to have hit a bad patch of road. Whether they are able to negotiate the curves and miss taking a header or the tire blows and they hit the truck head on…time will tell. Either way, they’ve made their mark. Maybe 1 in a million people actually get to make their mark on life on this planet and have the ability to positively affect so many others lives. They’ve done that already…whether they become a legend now or keep on truckin, we’ll see. I'm betting on the later, they're driving a BMW not a beat up Harley.

Pero, está todo bien! Bien hecho todos.
