Most people look forward to holidays and special days because they are fun. It often means getting together with family and friends for jolly times. I'm not only talking about the BIG holidays in the month of December, but specific specila days like birthdays, aanniversaries, or graduations. I'm referring to any time folks gather together to celebrate some special occasion.

These unexpected life-happenings that divert one from his or her chosen path in life can be devastating. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." Life is all about choices!
