Straight on Through

Dear Friends,

I came across a spot in the trail that was a muddy mess.

At the same time I got there, there was a guy coming the other direction.  He decided to go around the mud.  I decided to go right through.  I made the better decision that afternoon.

As I was going through all the mud, there were some well-hidden, but well-placed rocks that helped me through.  There was some overstretching and some balancing to be done, it wasn’t always a sure, clean bet, but I got through it, I came out the other side.

But poor dude.  The spots that looked dry…….well, they weren’t.  Dude ended up calf-high in the mud.

I might have made the better decision that afternoon, but I’ve been in that muddy mess, more than a few times.  Calf-high in the mud, irritated, frustrated and stuck….at times a foot pulled out of a boot.  Regretting my decisions.

As I saluted dude and walked on, I was thinking about how sometimes the best way through situations is straight on…...even when they look muddy, messy, and maybe a little scary.  Sometimes straight on through is the right call.

Perhaps there’s something in your life that you need to walk straight on through.  I deeply hope as you walk through, that there will be some well-placed rocks in your path.

I hope you have an amazing weekend dear friends.  I am so deeply grateful for you.

Love
