Our Fork In the Road - Week 15

One of this week's discussions was based on whether or not Clarissa had made the right choice in choosing between Richard and Peter. We are faced daily with choices in our lives and I'm sure we all look back on those choices and wonder what if. But we can't live our lives always wondering what if. We must realize that we are where we are because of our choices and continue looking forward and making the best choices from our present situation. We all have the ability to make our past choices into positive outcomes no matter how bumpy and curvy the road is we chose to journey down! There are no roads that are completely straight and without bumps so we must make the best of what we've got in front of us.

The Road Not Taken
By 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.
