Take The Road Less Traveled

---

This husband and I…

Were eating breakfast at a little mom and pop shop…the place decked out…in trains and GI Joes…

Overheard the waiter talk about days off…choosing to stay home…because the traffic here is so bad…and it is…congested…bumper to bumper…seemingly worse every year…

Eavesdropper me marveled at the dichotomy…her dichotomy…on one hand…the beauty of the place taken for granted because of familiarity…

But yet because of familiarity…wary driver me has found comfort in navigating the traffic…having found backroad shortcuts…to most desired locations…

And so it is…the dichotomies of life…the ups…the downs…the happies…the sads…the goods…and the bads…

And you know what they say…put a crazy old gal behind the wheel…she may take the road less traveled for adventure…or she may take it…just to avoid the traffic…

Which if you’d seen how many times she’s been lost…can be an adventure…all of its own…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
