Just a Late Afternoon Musing
I think that life is a lot like those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books from when we were kids. We all start in one place which, most likely, we had no control over. There’s a short time when we’re guided and then we reach our first major crossroad. At this point, we make a choice [...]

I found that this particular image really seemed to capture the essence I was reaching for. The mental picture I came up with and offered was this:

Words to Live By
“‘Who in their right mind when given a choice between pancakes and living would choose pancakes?’
