Graduation Day....

My youngest, Alexander, graduated from High School yesterday!! A few tears were shed by mom, of course - but it was a lovely day... and I know he is looking forward to this next chapter in his life.

The keynote speaker at the grad read the well known poem by Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken - and that will be my Thought for The Day. This poem always makes me think!

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.

Robert Frost
