Some are diligent about making decisions and setting goals. For others it's hard to commit to any decision or goal and they tend to go with the flow. The latter would be me. But, once in a while I can be coerced into setting my sights on something and making a decision to stick to it. I have sold my home, my possessions and kept only what I could pack into one suitcase for each hand. I'm heading out to catch that bus that has promised to make all of my dreams come true. I have said my goodbyes and found I had little regrets in doing so. I have now pinned everything I once knew and everything I am to be in the future on that bus and it's destination. I have seen little else around me in some time because catching that bus has been my only thought. As I am waiting patiently for the bus to arrive I start to ponder. Have I really done the right thing? Deep breath. Yes, I did. I am sure of it. I am set in my decision. This is my future and I will not turn back. Full speed ahead. Let's do this! I begin to look at my watch repeatedly. When the waiting becomes longer than it should I realize it's because I have missed the bus. It has come and gone without me. I set the suitcases down. What now? Where do I go from here? There is no going back as I have foolishly seen to it that there is nothing left for me to return to. I look ahead and the uncertainty of traveling that direction frightens me. I stand there lost, helpless and confused. What have I done? I put my hands together and point them towards the Heavens. Maybe a prayer for guidance will help me. As I start to pray I happen to glance off to the side. I see something I hadn't seen before. Funny. It was always there. I just didn't see it. I had been too busy making my plans to catch the bus. I take a closer look and smile. I wonder. How could I have ever missed this? Blinded by the bus? I stand there admiring this bigger than life jet. Unlike the one destination of the bus, this jet had the potential to take me anywhere I wanted to go! In my minds eye had I seen this jet before now? Did I miss the bus on purpose? It is then that the bus pulls up in front of me. I am being given a second chance to get aboard. I cock my head and look at the bus. I then erect my head and shake it as I wave it on. I pick up my suitcase and head towards the jet. Where am I going now I wonder? I take in a deep breath and let out a long sigh. Doesn't matter. A satisfied grin forges it's way across my face. I am packed and ready to go with the flow again!
