Everyone has something to offer...

Quote From: taemanai

Hello Teri, I am happy, with all knowledge has a creative and interesting individual writing them,  

many thanks for your many contributions.  In learning about ourself, ongoing, with many people of different ages, that are on-line, wisdom-of-the ages, (I was thinking about ripening selves) as yourself has a nice ring to it, I feel.

And we get to decipher what that is.  I am learning that wisdoms come in many ages.   

  

As I read your posts, I find a reference to a map.  A life map is such a wonderful tool!  My boyfriend/mate and I were discussing goals, and how they are much like maps.  We see where we are, put the proverbial "X", and then we mark where we want to be.  How we get there, however, is just a detail that works out as we go along.  Often there are many ways to reach the same destination.  Freeway is usually the most direct, yet often not very picturesque.  Sometimes we can find side roads that take us through the interesting places, yet are smooth.  Then we can take the back roads, which can be rough, hard to navigate through, yet almost always with a spectacular view.  Each way of reach the goal is right, yet maybe not each way is right for each individual.   

  

I triage my goals and decide my routes based upon the urgency I place upon them.  I have only one goal right now that I feel requires the "freeway", the rest are back-road types of goals.  I want to know my path intimately, and I want to fill it with interesting people, and I want to hear the music as I go along. 

Teri
