The Road not Taken

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."                            -Robert Frost

It amazes me how I drive this road often, for work, traveling between vineyards and yet on this day, it was like I was viewing this with new eyes.  I had to stop.  I turned around a corner and there it was.  An image which took me directly to Robert Frost's lovely Poem, The Road Not Taken. I was moved to stop and soak in the meaning of that poem which I memorized and fell in love with in 4th grade poetry class.  Life takes many turns and I believe we all have the power to choose our path, not by a road map but by an accumulation of many small decisions over time.  It is easy to compare oneself to others, wanting for more, wishing to be a little different.  Comparison really is the theft of joy.  I am reminded to be me.  Take risk and adventure.  Go against the grain.  Be different. Be YOU. In this materialistic world, be you and be the best you.  That is all you need.   Be unique. Be You. It makes all the difference.
