Life is funny.  One minute things feel like you’re at the beginning of everything.  Like your life is just starting up and you have forever to do all that you want.  The next minute, you’re in the midst of it.  You’re in the thick of everything you’ve started and worked hard for.  Life often gets compared to a journey, or a path.  One that you start thinking you know each turn and bump and yet you don’t.  There are always unexpected turns and little bumps that make you trip.  But isn’t that also the reason that we like taking a walk in the woods?  We like a little surprise, we like to be awed by something we weren’t expecting.  This path is much like how I am feeling these days.  In the midst of the forest, no beginning or end in sight, just surrounded by the life that I have carved out for myself.
