Dear Readers,
When one goes on a long journey, it is inevitable that one will reach a crossroad eventually. At the crossroad, a decision has to be made as to which direction to take.
Since I have reached that crossroad, at the same time as I feel a little weary, it seems prudent to sit a while and think about which direction to take from here.
Consequently, instead of writing here on the blog, I think it is the right time for me to keep my own counsel and rest a bit with my thoughts.
Once I've sat in the sun a bit and pondered on my own, I hope to return here refreshed and ready to share my thoughts again with you.
In the meantime, best wishes to you all.

Vesta, I understand the need to take a step back from the blogosphere but I hope you aren't gone too long.
ReplyDeleteTake care
I leave for two measly weeks and the blogsphere falls apart???(kidding of course) sigh... good luck Vesta I wish you well.
ReplyDeleteI leave with you the immortal thoughts of Robert Frost.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Aurore: Thank you for your thoughts, and no, I won't be away too long at all.
ReplyDeleteSir J: You made me smile. Well, I can't do anything about the others but I assure you that I'll be back before you've finished your last chocolate croissant. A girl can only ponder for so long on her own; well, this girl, anyhow.
A big hug to you for leaving me this poem. I began reading it out to my husband and got all choked up. Indeed, I too choose the road less travelled, and soon I will write of my new discoveries; "and that has made all the difference."
Enjoy your holiday my friend; you'll be back putting me through my hoops before you know it!
Will look forward to your return.

Decisions are a challenge. And change... more scary than a caning. I look forward to hear about your new road. We all learn from each other's explorations. Meanwhile, have a good trip - and send postcards!
ReplyDeleteFlorida Dom: It was kind of you to take the time to send me this message. My heartfelt thanks.
ReplyDeleteOG: My trip led me further and further down the road of submission, in fact. Yes, that was scary but I can't tell you how much better I feel having made the journey.
Sometimes we need to peek down the other roads to confirm that the one we've been in was the correct choice in the first place. I envy you the option of such a submissive life.
