Paths


Walking today I decided to take a different route which caused me to take longer to get home. Usually, I walk the same exact way every day. It's familiar and I know how long it takes. But today I stepped onto a new path that I wasn't sure where it would lead me. I knew the general direction, but it was exciting to go a different way and see new yards and flowers. Life is like that. There isn't anything wrong with familiar, but sometimes the excitement of exploring the unknown adds new dimensions to life. That has certainly been true for me these last few years. It seems that something new keeps bopping its head around a corner or bend in the road. And that's exciting to me! Keeps life fresh and I'm always curious what will be next! How glad I am to be able to stay open and embrace the new while not leaving sight of my familiar.
