Watch Your Step!

Have you ever been at a place in your life where you felt you were standing on the edge of a great precipice of decision? You know that where you are is just run down and worn out and abandoned. It’s time to move to a new place…a different place. The door is before you and all the expanse of the unknown challenges and rewards that it holds, but to step off that familiar ground…the drop is so steep.

I guess that’s sort of how the baby bird feels when it’s time to leave his nest for his first flight. He sees other birds fly. He sees his parents fly and they tell him that he too, can fly now. Even his brothers and sisters have taken the leap. But what if it’s too soon for ME? What if I fly in the wrong direction? What if the wind carries me off course? What if? What if I don’t?

“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
~Mark Twain

Easier said than done.

It’s snowing in South Carolina! I haven’t felt well this weekend but HAD to take the camera out to seek out a shot or two of this uncommon southern rarity before it disappears. Shooting this outhouse during the snow gave me pause to be eternally grateful for modern indoor plumbing!

Another thought…is always a good idea to have someone watch the door for you when you use a public facility…
