A Thought to Ponder
I read a post on another blog this past week, and it got me thinking.
Bobbie, over at The Right Blue recounted a story she was told years ago.
The main point of the story was that everybody has a different way of looking at things - and some are very different indeed.
So as we were taking a hike through the woods this week, we came to the end of a maintained path.
Did we see this as an end to our walk since we could go no further?
I would not have even thought of that question if I had not read Bobbie’s post earlier.
We did as we usually do - kept on walking through the brambles, branches, and rough terrain.
And what a treat we had when we reached the top of the hill we had been climbing all along.
The sun was setting, and Mother Nature had painted the sky a most brilliant pink - and it was reflecting on the trees on the opposite hill.
All was bathed in this beautiful light - and we would have missed it if we stopped when the path ended.
Of course, it had been misting when we left, so I didn’t have my camera with me to capture this beauty.
If you get a chance, stop by Bobbie’s blog and read her story - she tells it quite well and I think you will enjoy it.
Don’t be afraid to take the path less traveled, we may be surprised. Heading over to read her story now.
