Companions on the way

Have you ever been on a long road trip playing "follow the leader" with a another driver. You pass that driver, that driver passes you? This back and forth "game" goes on for a lengthy duration and you make a slight connection but don't acknowledge it.  Has this ever happened to you? Then some where the down road you find yourselves at the same Rest Area taking a break to stretch your legs then out of the blue the other driver says: "I appreciate your driving you helped pass the time." You think to yourself:  'Really? You helped me more than I helped you.'

In life we pass each other at high speeds palying "follow the leader" barely connecting, until we find ourselves at a rest station preparing ourselves to re-engage the road.

You never know how your journey can bless someone else on theirs. Someone read a recent post I made and decided to re-engage the road of lifestyle change and healthy living. I thought to myself: "Wow..I didn't realize people actually read what I write and understand."

My journey is not about a magic pill, secret formula, special gym equipment, or quick fixes. My journey is long and difficult it is the road less traveled. On any given day I fall down but I get back up. There is an ancient proverb "Fall down seven times, stand up eight".

When I fall and get back up again, may I be so blessed to find companions on the way who know, understand and share in the struggle. Life is series of small connections that creates a larger mosaic. Be the companion you hope to find on the way.

Peace & Blessings on Your Journey
