The Fork in the Road

I am in this really deep place on this journey to joy. I don't know how to look forward without looking back. So this morning I was looking in the rearview mirrow. I was listening to the same music I listened to in my dorm room back in college when I was 19. Forty more years later, I feel pretty much the same. I am thinking of the future, not really knowing what it is going to be like. I have an idea of how I would like it be, just don't know how it will turn out. I am still sorting, purging and donating. In a week I move out of the house I have been living. The house I was supposed to retire in. The house to rest easy in. Instead, I am packing my bags and getting ready to move on. I am thankful every morning to wake with a feeling of optimism. I also still feel no matter what choices I made in life, they have all been good ones. I have lived a good life and am looking forward to all that life has to offer me. I am thankful I live in the land of hope and dreams. The picture above is a picture of me in Barcelona. Not, a dream I actually had. But, when Glen and I talked of our future together. We both wanted to travel to Europe. We also agreed we would have to see all of America first. Those dreams became a reality for us. I refuse to stop hoping and dreaming for a better tomorrow. I believe the road I am taking will lead me in the right direction. I have a different guide for this part of the jouney, and it is God. In God I trust, my journey, has a new beginning.
