staying on the sunny path

Several years ago, I was challenged to no longer plan my life, but to simply live my life. While this advice comes to us in many forms (live one day at a time, live in the moment) it is one those axioms that is easier said than done. Again one is faced with the question- How?

As I began this new way of facing each day, it became apparent that each day we are presented with multiple paths to choose from. It is the paths we choose each day, that lead us along to safety and happiness.

Some paths are in the sunlight, and have positive things for us lining the path.

Other paths lead to old coping skills, risk factors and darknesses.

We get to make these choices every day. Learning to recognize the difference between these paths, and when we are about to step on one, requires paying attention to where we are going, and remembering where we have been.
