A Beautiful Day

New Start!

I have not had the opportunity to make any posts in the last while. I have been getting settled into the new job and life out here in Colorado. I am glad to be home and with my family. It is a great stress reliever to have familiar faces and caring friends around.
I have had the opportunity of getting to see my Grandpa get married 2 weekends ago. It was a great time despite the 110+ heat at the beautiful outdoor ceremony. I wish them the best of luck in this new adventure the are embarking upon! Eileen is going to have her hands full~ LOL Love you Grandpa!
My New job is exciting and I have much to learn in this field as I have never worked in it before. This is a challenge that I accept with open arms. I hope I do not regret it later.
My Sister Melissa, her son Jackson and I had a most excellent adventure road tripping to Saint George and back. On this trip my sister and I had many great hours of talk time. We talked about life, love and happiness, Struggles, gifts and experiences. I am truly grateful for the great older sister that I have! She is a blessing to my very existence. Along this Journey we talked about the path of life. She likened my explanation of the course of life to a "Choose your Own Adventure" book. I agreed with her at that time but it was not until later as I pondered that, that I had the opportunity to actually chew on that.
I think that we all have a basic outline of what our life is to be that is determined by a higher power. Along the way we have the opportunity to, at a crossroads in our life choose which path we are going to venture down. In this aspect life is like unto a "Choose your own adventure" book. Unfortunately we can not peek at the outcome before we choose that path, as I did when reading those books when a child. We have to determine the choice that we feel is best and read on, crossing our fingers that the bad guys wont get us in the end. The Wisdom and knowledge gained from previous choices are imperative to making the future choices from which the best outcomes are derived. We learn as we go. There are loop holes sometimes in life that take us back to what feels like a choice we had to make before, so do we choose the same choice and hope that the outcome is different? Or do we choose another path and hope that the outcome will lead us to yet another choice... This I am pondering today as I have many choices to make that I have found myself making in the past as well. The outcome of the choices I have made in the past have given me the opportunity to learn and grow immensely, so do I choose another path to see what it has to offer?
