Life Signs

[savage25]

You know how when your driving a route that you know so well that you really aren't paying attention.  You're basically zoned-out and the car is driving itself.  Did you ever realize days after-the-fact that a new road sign has been put up somewhere on your route

You're only responsible for knowing change is coming to the highway when the signs are up in advance announcing there will be construction and detours. The analogy here is that you can, and ought to, exercise enough foresight in your life when the conditions around you in your life are evident.

If change comes unexpectedly, like that which is announced by a new sign suddenly installed alongside the highway, then you have to either be able to adapt to the change on the change's terms or find another route. This, too, is your responsibility.

True... normally I feel prepared and in-control. Ready to take-on whatever turns are ahead.

And it's not like I feel like I'm out of control...

Just more like questioning if I'm in the right place in life -- did I take the route(s) I was supposed to take?

*sigh* Just a "mood" I wanted to get out... *hugs*

It's funny that you post this today, because for some reason, I really and truly feel like this today!!!!

Are you a pisces? If I remember correctly, I think we've shared similar moods once or twice before in the past.
hmmm... freaky...
I was in this mood all evening... wondering if I had taken the right route(s) in life...
*hugs*

Nope. A virgo.

I've felt like this for the past several weeks. But instead it's a missing sign. Like I should have exited a long time ago. And gotten on another freeway...

*sigh* Exactly... that feeling like your on a road that you're not supposed to be on... or headed toward Idaho instead of New York?

Let's hope the road ahead takes us to the Emerald City and makes us happy.
Safe travels. :)

I've been wondering that a lot lately too. Am I really "living" my life or am I wandering through? Will I leave a footprint on this earth or will I be another shadow? If I make a change, will I make a difference or will it be a change strictly for change's sake?

And yet, have I done anything or am I just paralyzed by my thoughts? Unfortunately, it's closer to Choice B. :(

Because I've known you...

Although we may not all be Einstein's or something... I like to think that we've already made impacts on this world... And have many yet to make.

I've been in a thought-full / moody(?) state lately... (not necessarily bad mood, but philosophical I guess)... Your "paralyzed" comment is exactly in-line with another thought I was just having this morning... I'm going to post about it.

Peddle to the metal baby! *ak*

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?
And because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.

Thanks for the warm and fuzzy feeling...*ak*
