Live an unconventional life
Road Less Traveled 1 year ago

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 onto 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 took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

-Robert Frost

Carnegie Hall

When I was a senior in high school I got to sing this song, along with the other poems Frost wrote at Carnegie hall. I thought it was awesome then, but looking back it really is something out of the ordinary. I hope you find what you are looking for in your unconventionalness. :)

I hope we all do

It’s not that I don’t want to be like anyone else…it’s just that everyone seems to act/dress/think the same nowadays! Where, oh where, has individualism gone?

So where have you gone?

Perhaps your journey to an uncoventional life has left 43 Things behind?
You’re still getting so many cheers, but you haven’t cheered anyone in 6 or 7 months!
Come on back . . . and keep traveling that road less traveled.

You know, I'm not quite sure

...I will say that I have come back to visit a few times to re-read some stuff…look over my goals…read other ppl’s posts…

I guess I just started to feel overwhelmed. While 43 is a fantastic idea and I really feel that it helps bring ppl together, at times it has felt like another thing to add to my “to do” list…and the problem with that is that I’m trying to simplify.

I really appreciate your comment and it’s gotten me thinking about this community of support that we have here…and that perhaps I should do more than just visit.

I understand . . .

your comment. I have concerns about the obligation I feel to signing in here, commenting on how I’m doing on my goals, as well as cheering other people on. There are other things that don’t get done if I’m here writing comments.
I can’t write “quick” comments; if I make a comment, I want it to be maybe even more than thoughtful . . . I certainly don’t want to be trite.
There are plenty of people here who can use some encouragement because they’re dealing with things they want to overcome, important things they want to accomplish in their lives, so I want to try to cheer people on.
Yet, I feel disappointed if I’m not getting cheered . . . I have some serious goals that don’t get much response. Why, if 43 things is a place for people to move ahead with their lives?
So . . . I’m off the soapbox.
I’m pleased you read my post and responded . . . hope you do well with your goals.
I DO know that in writing this I didn’t spend the 15 minutes of today decluttering the house. It was probably worth it.
Take care!!!
