Hello everyone , this month is really flying by , just as time often does.

What a winter we have had , not all that bad unless you are a fan of snow , I am not .

It is mild today , for the middle of winter. 40º weather is not the norm for New England , but I will take it and leave no complaints in the box this year , at least so far.

We still have one of the longest months of the year ahead , March always seems longer than it truly is.

I think it is because most of us so long for the Spring to finally arrive , so we can get out and explore our blossoming world that was safely sleeping the winter away.

Much can come from a new season , and as the seasons change , so does life. 

Life often mimics the calendar with its various seasons of life. We need not travel this journey alone.

It is important to understand solitude from the human need for companionship , we as humans often get frustrated by others , but so often we truly need to have others in our lives.

Choose wisely , we need to have kind and caring people as our companions , the world is full of adversaries and we need not have the extra baggage to bare.

With all this talk of Spring almost in the air , I would like to share with you a brand new verse entitled  , ‘ Traveling Roads ‘ .  Like so many verses , it came as a whim , a need for expression , the shear wanting to write. 

I hope you will enjoy , and until we meet again , stay safe and well .

Traveling Roads

How many times have we said , ‘ lets take a road trip ‘ ?

Did it really happen or was it just a whim or a dream.

I have been on many road trips , some happy , some sad.

While traveling it is important to go prepared and ready.

Often that is lost in the haste of youth.

Many travel ill prepared for there up coming journey.

Planning and charting a course should be just as fun as the trip itself.

However I have found spontaneity can be a grand traveling partner.

We do not always need to know where the road will lead or even when it will end.

All we truly need to care about is how are we traveling right now .

Life is a Road-Trip !!

Like planing the ultimate road trip , we also need to plan for life.

Unlike the road we choose , life does not often allow us the chance to plot our course.

Many time our course is charted by unseen or unplanned events that precipitate the journey.

That does not mean we need to head out ill prepared , quite the opposite , 

we need to prepare and then plan , yes we do need to do both. 

We often confuse preparedness for a well laid plan , it is close enough for the confusion.

However when we prepare for something then a course of action has already been planned.

Or should have been !

Life is filled with many roads and like ‘real world roads’ , 

the roads of life have many twists and turns and we really never know what is around the bend.

We have in our mind all things to be good , 

but what of the uncertainty of something blocking our way ?

Would that not need consideration ? , well of course it would.

So as we plan for the wondrous road trip of life 

let us not forget to enjoy the scenery along the way.

We need not travel hard or fast , but we do need to travel .

Setting out on the road parked alone the way is hardly a worthy road trip is it ?

Nor would the road trip of life , we need to keep moving.

The learning process is never ending , for when we cease to learn we cease to live.

Explore with greatness !! 

Enjoy all the road has to offer , it can  , and in most circumstances be a grand trip.

Caution must also be taken for the unknown and with proper planning

the unknown may be our friend in hiding.

So with this I would like to say to all 

Travel safe and far , travel with heart and love.

Travel as if life depends on it , it just might.

Remember when the journey is nearing an end , there is always …

The road yet untraveled .

Let youth and zest for life be your guide and you will 

travel safe and well , 

always.
