Stop and Go
My goals in life were nebulous. I didn’t know quite what
it was that I most wanted—except out of my rut.
A picket fence and cottage were never my dream.
I didn’t want to produce children by the ream.
I only wanted travel and to see who I could be
if I could search far enough to discover me.
I finally found a part of me everywhere I went,
but had to keep on traveling to know the full extent
of who I wished to grow into—how much I wished to find—
how much I could reveal of me and still have peace of mind.
But now I’ve seemed to settle. I’m content with what I’ve found.
The place where I have come to seems like holy ground.
Perhaps true wisdom really comes from knowing when to stop—
knowing when we’ve climbed enough because we’ve reached the top!
The Weekly Challenge is “Stop.”

Thanks, Sadie. I may take a little sabbatical from my blog. I’m thinking people..other than yourself and a few others…are losing interest in it and I really could spend the time on finishing my book. Things seem to be changing quickly in my life and this may be one of them. Want to say I’ve appreciated all your comments and also reading your blog. Friends at a distance….Judy

You’re always most welcome dear friend. Taking a break from blogging is just fine. You can finish your book meanwhile. But do come back to blogging.

Sometimes we need to sit back, stop and take stock.
I always enjoy reading your posts, Judy, but as with many of the blogs I follow, I don’t come here often enough. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with our STOP challenge.

Lovely. There is an aspect of “home” that travels along with us wherever we go, and a moment when we stop looking outside and turn within, and there we find it.
