Post Road Trip Reflection

To all the people I met along the way; In your world I may have been just a face that passed through one day, but in my world you played a role in memories I will cherish forever.  

Make room for sadness, but leave out the bitterness.
Open your eyes to new experiences.  Allow your wounds to heal; don't let them rob you of life.  You will brush past many fellow travelers on your journey, and each one deserves to be approached with a kindness that is free of our former resentments.

Look past your character flaws.  We all have them.  Gaze at your strengths instead.

Others will deal with life as they see fit.  At the end of the day, I can only steer the course of my own, and know that when I lay my head down at night it's myself I have to sleep with.  I want to sleep well.  

We all feel the need to push our limits sometimes.  None of us escapes the burns we receive when we dare to stroke the fire.

We all have character flaws.  In that we are not alone; but we often try to live with it alone.  This trip has reminded me this life is meant to be shared.

My stepfather once said that I would be quite the catch....if anyone could catch me.  He was wrong.  I don't need to be caught; I just need someone who can keep up.

Shoney's is alive and well in the South!

I would love to call Arkansas home.

God does exist.  Just not always the way others would have us believe.
