If the path you choose
seems an arduous journey
look for adventure
around the corner.
It might be just the thing that
brings you sweet reward.

Footnotes; Things I’ve learned along the way. Looking back on the fun and adventure of summer vacations I remember our kids saying all the time while taking road trips, “Are we there yet?” That line later made its way into movie and TV scripts with the kid asking the same question over and over. Even now we can get impatient in life not just with the literal trips we take, but metaphorically speaking of the long journey in life of our chosen path, and it may seem it will take forever to achieve. Some will have their rewards and others may not. But, a chance taken is sometimes worth the risk. How we travel and whether we carry baggage along the way often determines its success.
