Laws of Physics

Sometimes the whirlwind never stops. A roller coaster with no exit, exciting fun, breathtaking, scary, but in the end you want it to stop, be able to get off and take a deep breath, maybe get back on, but have the opportunity to stop.

Why is it that being a single mom is sometimes like that roller coaster ride? I love my children. I love my boyfriend. I love my job, mostly. (:-)) So why the need to breath? Sometimes the everyday gets in the way of the extraordinary. Of what we really want to say and do. I guess sometimes when things get going, they never really slow down...As I teach in Physical Science. Newton's 1st Law of Motion, an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

"Unbalanced force" = friction. HA! What holds for Newton, holds for all of us...friction is the one thing that can change the course of an object, person or relationship.
