"Life is a highway" - Tom Cochrane


Can life can be compared to as being a highway?  I think it can.  We all "drive on" this highway called life.  For some of us, it is a long ride filled with high points and low points and many curves.  For others, the drive is too short, it is over way to quickly.  Sometimes we get to choose the road to drive on.  Some will chose the nice direct route, flat and predictable.  Others will pick the way that's the most complicated probably getting lost along the way.  We have people we come across during the course of our lives who are like a GPS or maps.  These individuals help us to find our way through the road of life. 

Sometimes though, you are on the nice, direct route.  Everything seems hopeful.  You have plans to get somewhere, you plan of taking your time and enjoying the scenery.  But something happens, maybe your car breaks down or maybe you have an accident and the car doesn't quite function like it used to.  These people may simple get their cars fixed and carry on down the road of life.   I like these people the best.  They continue on living, even if their cars don't work as well or look like they used to.  Will they get to their finial destination?  You bet.  Maybe not the way they expected to, but they will get there.

What about me?  What kind of road did I pick to travel on?  If you ask my family, they would probably say that I am on a road to a dead end.  I am  going to come to a point where the road will just stop and I will have to turn around and return to my former self.  I assure you, this is not the case.  I may not have picked a route that is straight and direct.   My road is windy, maybe not even paved.  It mat appear to be a tough, bumpy route to others, but I am ok,I'll get through it.  I believe this is a short cut, that one day I will hit a smoothly paved highway and it will be a gentle ride from there.
