I noticed these bird tracks while at the beach (on the same day that Mac was frolicing with his new buddy) and they really got me thinking.

 

Sometimes I find myself walking in all directions, anxiously pacing while contemplating my next steps.  This first photo shows tracks from a bird who appears to do the same thing!  As I struggle over deciding which course to take, my internal dialogue moves rapidly along like this:  Am I tired of the scenery?  If so what am I looking to change?  What am I really craving?  Do I want more adventure, some more spice in life?  Or am I just looking for a way out, afraid to deal with what might be going on?  If I take a chance by trying something different, will it be as good as it is now? 

 

After going through these thoughts one-by-one, frontwards and backwards and over and over again, I ask myself one last question “why not just walk a little and see how it goes?”   Simple right?  So onward I go, hoping for the best.

 

 

 

For some their paths might look more like this (clear, straight and uncomplicated.)   Everyone’s path is different and there’s no right or wrong way to go.  I think what’s most important is that no matter what it looks like in front of us, it’s good to keep moving…keep reaching…keep learning – feel what it’s like to really live. 

 

 

Can’t wait to experience more of this path – whether it be crooked or straight, I’m ready!
