Created, lived, and retold, right here in Jones Valley, Birmingham.

So many directions, so many choices.

Friday Photo: The path we choose

It’s been a nice break from Birmingham, this week spent seaside with family and a stack of books. It’s a reprieve (from day-to-day affairs) such as this that give me just enough break from reality to remind me exactly what my reality looks like, for I know I’ll be returning to it at the end of our beach adventure.

I spotted this directional post on my walk this morning, and it gave me reason to ponder just which path I would choose, today. Short of zipping off to Paris (or New York) all by myself for a grand few days (obviously, not part of my reality), I mentally added my own arrow that pointed straight to Birmingham.

So many directions, so many choices.

‘Cause that’s where my home is. That’s where our garden grows. That’s where our work is.

And in a place like Birmingham, we’re all given the opportunity to create our own path as we pursue our own journey. Here’s to finding a little direction and setting off on yours!

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson
