Cruising through life

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.

On my most recent mountain bike trip, "I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference". On a recent mountain bike trip we came to a fork in the road, but we decided to forgo the path we had ridden up on and take the one less traveled on. Was it a good decision? No actually it was a great decision. The trail was filled with sweet up and downhills and fast corners.

As I continue on my journey in life and approach another road diverged, I will have to stop, reflect and make a decision on which way to go next. Life is like one big pick your own adventure book. How will you write your next chapter?
