Road Not Taken

“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference.” Robert Frost

Decisions- We all reach that point where we stand on the cusp of them- weighing options. Looking at each path, evaluating pros and cons based on experience of peers, family, and our own life. In the next coming weeks I’ll be standing at that very fork in the woods, reflecting on the path I’ve traveled and looking ahead. I won’t be able to travel both, no matter how hard I try to make both options work.

One option has definitely been traveled before, a path has been paved and I’m able to see a bit of what the future would look like. It’s promising and has promises of excitement. The other path, it hasn’t been traveled and it’s really hard to make out the future because the brush is thick. It’s scary and a bit overwhelming, but I love a good challenge because the benefits can be so wonderfully rewarding. Both have certain benefits and both undoubtedly have some draw backs.

Up to this point, my life has been fairly simple, little complications and relatively little opportunity for me to stand on the cusp of such decisions. I’m nervous yet excited. I sure wish I could give more details, but there are so many unknowns still. All I can do is stand with the path I’ve walked for my entire life behind me, face toward each bright and sunny path, waiting, hoping, pondering, wondering which path will be my new adventure - hoping and praying with every ounce of my being the right one rises up to meet my feet.
