Live your life with intention - dare to follow your own path - Avivah ...

Two paths diverged into the woods, some choose the easier path. I followed my heart and chose to go straight. It was a treacherous path and made me the best I could be. I’m glad I chose the harder way, It was the right choice for me. I hope that you will chose as well, Blazing a trail only you can travel.

I'm grateful for your wise words, dear hubby. I know the road you chose has been more than a challenge at times...but you've blazed a trail that few could and I respect you for what you've done. You turned out pretty darn good in my book. hugs from me to you!

Often in life there are many paths to choose, sometimes we don't get it right but learning from wrong choices makes us a better person. Tom

That's true, Tom, some of my mistakes do seem to have benefited me in the long run. Thanks for reading and commenting on so many of my poems, Tom, I really do appreciate it and your friendship. Cheers! Bill

The power within, my friend. We will experience what we need to learn from, one way or another. Good question though. Thanks for making me reflect on the question. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
