“As You Travel Through Life<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you travel through life there are always those times<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When decisions just have to be made,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the rain seems to soak your parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some situations where all you can do<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is simply let go and move on,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gather your courage and choose a direction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That carries you toward a new dawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of change can be tough,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But think about all the excitement ahead<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There might be adventures you never imagined<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just waiting around the next bend,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And wishes and dreams just about to come true<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In ways you can\u2019t yet comprehend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you\u2019ll find friendships that spring from new things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you challenge your status quo,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And learn there are so many options in life,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you\u2019ll go places you never expected<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And see things that you\u2019ve never seen,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And wonderful spots in between!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you\u2019ll find warmth and affection and caring<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And somebody special who\u2019s there<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help you stay cantered and listen with interest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To stories and feelings you share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you\u2019ll find comfort in knowing your friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are supportive of all that you do,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And believe that whatever decisions you make,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll be the right choices for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So keep putting one foot in front of the other,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And taking your life day by day\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a brighter tomorrow that\u2019s just down the road \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t look back! You\u2019re not going that way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to express thanks to whoever the author unknown is that wrote that poem. It’s a poem that’s crossed my path many times over the years and it always seems to show up on days I needed to hear it most….like today….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
