Life's Highway

Life is often described as a road, a path, or a highway. The older I get, and the more twists and turns my life takes, the more I believe this comparison is a good way to describe it. Some recent, and some on-going, family situations have made this analogy even more apparent to me.
We all may have a path of life in mind we plan on taking, but things come up that are unexpected that can change the route very quickly. We find ourselves, or other family and friends, taking a fork in the road, and traveling through some unfamiliar territory. Sometimes we don't know what to expect around the next corner, or over the next hill. And sometimes, we find a mountain instead of a hill, on the road in front of us. Sometimes we can see a storm in our path, that we know we will have to travel through, as our journey continues.
Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. Maybe the road of life is supposed to be an unknown adventure, with many unexpected turns, and mountains to climb, and bridges to cross, and storms to endure. We just have to navigate the path the best we can as we go along, making the most of the trip, and prepare the best we can for those storms we know will happen along the way.
I have wrote about variations of this subject in other posts in my blog before. Being a "car guy" , I usually refer to the car I'm driving along the way, and how that makes the trip more enjoyable for me. But this time I'm talking about the other aspects of out journey of life.  Now I find them a more important part of my thoughts than ever before. Wishing all of you the best outcome, as you travel down your own personal route, along "Life's Highway".
