Breakdown

I believe we all at one time or another reach a point when thinks just shutdown. It could be financial or emotional or physical- something happens and for a moment there is a BREAKDOWN. This blog and podcast is about an actress who reaches a point in her career where she concludes that all that rewards aren't enough to provide fulfillment.

It seems that many in this country are reaching the point of a breakdown. Opportunities that were thought to always be around aren't. Yeah, the constitution does say we have the right to the pursuit of happiness but doesn't mention that we have the right to happiness. Let's face it, whatever is said by Obama and done by the nation's leaders it will not be a cure all. Really, if it helps some people many more will remain to struggle on. In the pursuit of happiness there are no guarantees. I think that we can have moments of contentment in our lives then we are doing pretty well. Being one of the millions who are in the struggle I would like to say that even when there doesn't seem to be a positive conclusion at least we have this moment to pursue a moment of contentment. Perhaps that moment will allow us to venture on through the Valley of Uncertainty- groping along in the darkness towards a the light of clarity. Brothers and Sisters stay strong. Breakdown was recorded in front of a live audience with the radio production group Pagliacci's Fools.
