I think I will begin by saying that the title of the blog is obviously lifted from the Robert Frost poem, The Road Not Taken. If you are not familiar with it, you should definitely look it over. I've never been great at expression, so I borrow from the minds and mouths of those who are. "I am not a crook!"- R. Nixon
I think that I have emerged from a long line of women who did not take the obvious path- they took the one that "asked for wear." I am the same, yet I am different. I decided at too young of an age that I had seen my mother's stress and anguish age her well beyond her years- I would not let it happen for naught. I would make things different. I would be a success! I would rise from the ashes and, for once, make life easy for my mother. The ebb and flow would not be good enough. Mom deserves better, and so do I. I'm still workin' on it Mom!
