The Journey of Life is like a Trail.
It has a beginning.......
We are definetly energetic as we begin taking our first steps down the trail. We look expectently forward, wondering what lies ahead. Many times we want to run to see what lies ahead. BUT when we do this we sometimes miss what is going on around us. There may be a beautiful view we fail to see and appreciate or a fellow hiker passing by in need of a drink.
And then there are the stumps and the fallen logs........
The annoyances that get in the way of our journey. Some make us fall, some make us angry, and some make us look behind us, wishing we could go back to the beginning of the trail where we had that excitment and happiness. BUT many times if we hurdle these obstacles, we come out feeling accomplishment and joy and can continue down the trail stronger than when we started.
And then there is the divided path which we come upon......
Which way should we go? Of course we want the way that will be the easiest and will have beauty all around it. BUT in the end is that the best choice or will it just lead to a dead end or a steep incline? We don't know so we choose and take our steps asking for guidance each step of the way.
And then there are the moments of sheer beauty .......
Moments with a gorgeous view, bright sunlight and a refreshing breeze. Moments that bring us peace unlike any we have ever experienced. These are the moments we love and must hold on to as we walk through the deep, dark paths of the forest, hoping for that beautiful moment that may lie right behind the next bend.
Keep on the trail!
