Sky is Falling
We all cross the road. To get to the other side. Somehow, anyhow, keep moving.

When you are struggling against headwinds, it sometimes takes awhile to cross ….. take your time and try not to get mired in the shoulda, coulda, woulda stuff …..
The sky is indeed falling, but you will all be survivors. From Nate’s posts it sounds like he is doing pretty darn well. (Beautiful writing, too. Takes after his dad.)
