Driving the Road of Life is Like "Taking" a Shower (Born to be Mild)

A few thoughts hit me as I took a shower so I decided to write them down.

Taking a shower is an interesting term and an interesting metaphor for life. You get into the shower and sometimes you just stand there. Doing nothing. Letting the water wash over you. But you aren't really showering you are just standing. Life is like that. You can either stand there or you can get in and get it done and get on.

So, last I posted was about taking a side track, an alley, a meander off the path. That happens. Another metaphor for life is driving a car. You can get in a car and just go. Where? Who knows. Take the next left. Merge, Yield. Stop. No U Turn. Or you can map out where you are headed. However keep in mind, you may have a roadmap or a plan but it is ok to deviate, to stop when you want and get off the turnpike and see some sights.



You can also just get in the car and drive aimlessly. You can pull to the side of the road and let the engine idle. But the engine of life runs on premium and it is given to you in 24 gallon increments and you only get 24 hours to the day (MPG- zoom zoom). So don't sit at the green light wondering. Put your foot to the floor and get your motor running. Head out on the highway. Look for adventure in whatever comes your way. You weren't born to be mild.
