“
Alice is lost in the forest and she stumbles across the Cheshire cat. And she says to the Cheshire cat, ‘I’m lost, which way should I go?’ And the Cheshire cat says, ‘where do you want to go?’ And
Alice says, ‘Well, it doesn’t really matter, as long as I get somewhere.’ And the Cheshire cat says, ‘Well it doesn’t matter which way you go!’”

Alice in Wonderland
I like where I am but sometimes I wonder if I got here deliberately or if I caught a free ride with the winds of fortune. Often I look back, not recognizing the foot prints that are my own…
When can one say that a person has reached her “breaking point”?
…When she starts to complain about the most insignificant of things
…When her default response to anything is antagonism
…When she’s taken over by lethargy
…When she finds herself often staring blankly into space
… When her legs seem to be dragging a 10 pound weight
… When nothing is of great important and everything is a nuisance
When is my “breaking point”?
… When there are less smiles on my face and laughter in my voice
… When I become disinterested and irritable
… When whining becomes second nature
… When sarcasm becomes my native tongue
… When I can’t look a person in the face
… When silence becomes my friend
