The Road To Where?

 LIFE

In life there are many roads.
For instance, there is a steep hill where you have to put your car in second and feel it choke and sputter in effort yet still persisting.
Then there is the good ol' roundabout where you steer around the island, miss your turn-off and have to go around again. There are roads we will go any lengths to avoid driving through.
All of the roads that we have travelled on are the by-product of our choices or those of others, and getting back on the high-way is the goal, or even high-tailing it to somewhere we can be ourselves by ourselves as we contemplate our intended destination and how we went about getting there.
Were we going the speed limit or were we in too much of a hurry?
Did we travel alone or with friends?
Did we make enough decisions by ourselves and still ask others for advice? And was it good advice?
What is different this time as you set out on this journey?
How are you going to navigate maps and gage traffic?
Are you thinking too little or too much?
As someone who thinks a little too much. I can safely say it is time to do.
Become the person you want to be in your future.
I guess a good starting point to do that would be to drive on the right side of the road.

Watch out, Sydney! A. has headed your way for the second State of Origin Game!
Lucky you! You have A. and his bed-hogging, blanket-stealing, television remote hoarding tendencies tonight on a 24 hour loan! (Haha! I miss you, A!)
Fingers, hands, toes, legs and eyes are crossed for Queensland to bring home another game in their sports bags and Queenslanders are praying that our boys in maroon will begin a new winning streak this year! Best of luck guys!
 GO MAROONS!

& THE EVERYDAY

I have been giving a lot of thought about what I want to do with the rest of my life.
I know there is a lot I can do, but I don't know what I could do.
I don't know if I am just restless or discontented, or whether I want to do something which requires thought, rainbow colours and using my hands or caring for the well-being of children.
 All I know is what is in front of me now and until I know for sure, I'm going to build something beautiful with that which is long-lasting.
A. and I were talking about how you just don't know what life has in store. I cried about the uncertainty I had about finding work and he comforted me in that beautiful way he has.
That man is one of the greatest blessings God has given me, that is something I remember everyday.
With a life journey partner like A. I know the places we choose to go together will be amazing.

Robert Frost sums this blog up nicely with his poem 'The Road Not Taken'

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Talk more soon,

Sarah xx
