A crossroads. . .perhaps.

The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.  ~Japanese Proverb

A friend of mine has been talking about how she's at a crossroads in her life.  She turned 40 this year.  Two very important people in her life died this year.  Her career is stalled.  She is kind of at a loss and decision making is not her strong suit.  I really feel for her.  I don't think I can help her.  I think she needs to find her own path.  So, I listen and let her bounce ideas off me.  I try to be supportive.

Be true to yourself!

Someone told me recently that jumping in deep and making my own way might be a good way to go.  I think she's right.  I'm not quite there, but I think I, too, am soon to arrive at a crossroads of my own.  Decisions will need to be made.  Change is a gonna come.  It's a little overwhelming, terrifying and exciting all at once.  

"And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!"
