Let me start by saying I am new to the "blogging" thing. Coming up with a blog name was difficult for me, although I believe my choice fits what I would/will blog about. My life has taken me (or I have taken my life?) on a path full of curvs, hills, straight aways, MOUNTAINS, and several road blocks. The reason for my choice "Choosing Roads" is based off of my favorite poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. I have always loved the poem from the first time I read it in Mrs. Jackson/Johnson's 9th grade English class. I had no clue however, that this poem would, could, and did relate to my life so much. Here is the poem:
|
| TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, | |
| And sorry I could not travel both | |
| And be one traveler, long I stood | |
| And looked down one as far as I could | |
| To where it bent in the undergrowth; | |
|
| Then took the other, as just as fair, | |
| And having perhaps the better claim, | |
| Because it was grassy and wanted wear; | |
| Though as for that the passing there | |
| Had worn them really about the same, | |
|
| And both that morning equally lay | |
| In leaves no step had trodden black. | |
| Oh, I kept the first for another day! | |
| Yet knowing how way leads on to way, | |
| I doubted if I should ever come back. | |
|
| I shall be telling this with a sigh | |
| Somewhere ages and ages hence: | |
| Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— | |
| I took the one less traveled by, | |
And that has made all the difference.
So why would I use this poem to affect my blog name? It's simple, if I had not taken all of the roads that I have, my life wouldn't be what it is today. I am very happy with life now but I haven't always been. This blog is going to be about all aspects of my life. Stories of my past, present and future roads are waiting to be told.
