The Road Not Taken~Robert Frost~

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo 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 thereHad 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.

What do I see?

An old woman?A young woman?

Retirement is not for me!

I think therefore I am ~René Descartes~

I dream therefore I become ~Diane Cassidy~

Age is a question

If you don’t mind,it doesn’t matter.

of mind over matter

With the loving support of family and friends

I embark upon my journey

and welcome a new beginning

seeking treasuresalong the way

walk alone

At times I will

At times I will

share the fun

At times I will lead

At times I will follow

But always I’ll be part of the team

There will be uphill climbs and downhill slides

with smooth sailing

in stormy weather

But through it all

with a little help

I will survive

from my friends

I may lose my wayfrom time to time

and need a compass to guide me

But fret I will not as long as I have

my passion & faith to guide me

What you believe about yourself, it all comes true

~John Mellencamp~ ~It All Comes True~

statistics

There will be unexpected turns

which I must navigate my best

and pleasant surprises too!

Though stress will haunt me

I will do what I can to relax…

Occassional retail therapy

should lift me up along the way

I Will Keep My Eye

Emotions will run the gamut!

But…

on the Prize!

This will give me pause…and reason to reflect

so in the end I will emerge

stronger, wiser, more fulfilled

The journey offers promise…for every step will bring

a new view, a new ideato warmly embrace

and another treasure to enrich my life
