Where It Started



 

So here I sit where I started so long ago.  What have I achieved since then?  I guess not much in the eyes of man.   

Forty five years ago at 16 I hitch hiked past this very spot on my way to new adventures.  It’s been quite the journey & I have little in the material world to show for it.

But I have more than anything this materialistic world can provide.  As the cars & trucks pass on the inter-state, I sit in mine & look thru a fountain at the hustle & bustle of a week end day.  

None of this was here 45 years ago except the hi-way.  Much has changed, but the trees that are left remind me of those first steps I took on my road of life.

A road that led me to the thoroughbred horse track in Cincinnati, then the track in Detroit, then at 17 I joined the U.S. Navy…and my eyes opened to a whole new world.

From there the road split in many directions; I often took a wrong turn, but I always seemed to get back on track & feel my best days lay ahead.  

It is said all roads lead back to the same place and as I sit here where I started so long ago….I can testify to that truth.  Have a superb weekend.  Be Safe & Be Healthy…🐝.
