Frodo: "Remember what Bilbo used to say:
It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet,
there's no knowing where you might be swept off to..."

I promise I am not obsessed with this movie. It just really has some great quotes. This one has been rumbling through my head as of late. Life is funny like that...you step out that door and only the Lord knows where you will end up! It's great really, that is if you like adventure...and I usually do...so I guess its good. :) Ten years ago if you told me I would have lived in West Africa for two years and was on my way to moving to SC in a few days, I would have laughed...but despite the hard times and the many goodbyes...its all worth it. I could not have asked for anything better.

I often say that I make my plans in jello. That is true anymore. After this last year and letting go of some dreams I held pretty tight, I realized that I can't hold on that tightly in life. Gotta hold things with my palms open. Last night a close friend of mine and I were walking a trail out at MacBride and it was dark, so we couldn't see. We had to focus on what was right in front of us in order not to get lost or go off the trail or trip. I think I would like to be a planner...I like to have things figured out many times far in advance. However, that's just not how it works...at least in my life its not. Ah, so many thoughts here...but none I will go into. So, the order of things are: We never know where life will take us...but its an adventure! And, plans made in jello. :) Oh yeah, and life is more fun with people to walk the path with.
