Two paths. One decision.

"...Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." —The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost

When faced with a decision — two scenarios you have the power to ultimately decide which way the story plays out — choose wisely. This is your path in life. Don't turn around. Don't look back and think "Why did I choose this route?" Take responsibility and have no regrets. This is your path — enjoy it.

Is our path in life pre-destined? I'm not sure. Depending on your religious beliefs it may or may not be. We are all faced with decisions to make on a daily basis. Some are more important than others. Some shape our lives and have brought us to where we are today. My decisions have led me to where I am now. I chose my own path. Some events in my life, good or bad, I had no control over. One example being I could not stop or predict 9/11 from occuring. I could not predict that I would be living where I am today if events surrounding my past had not occurred.

How I reacted to these events shaped who I have become today. I am thankful for the decisions I have made in my life thus far. The road I have traveled, although a bumpy ride, through sadness and hurt, happiness and love, a whirlwind of events, has gotten me to where I was meant to be. Possibly pre-destined? I am happy, in love, and family means everything to me.

This 'road' thus far has been my journey through life. I hold my head up and continue to strive forward, along this path I have chosen. My path, my decision.
