My how the time flies </h3> <div class="post-body"> <p> <div style="clear:both;"></div>I just realized looking back that it has been nearly 3 months since I have posted to this blog. When I started it I had plans to use it often but as with all things life got in the way. I have to ask myself what was I so busy doing that I couldn't take the time to stop and write a few lines on what was going on? Was I busy or just lazy? Did I assume that no one was reading so why bother? And if no one is reading it does that really matter? This was supposed to be for me, wasn't it? A way for me to take a step back and reflect. I hope to keep this blog more update from now on.. Maybe I will find some answers, answers to these questions.. and all the other ones that pop up along the way down the long road<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6574/1955/1600/Charles-Burchfield-Road-and-Sky.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6574/1955/320/Charles-Burchfield-Road-and-Sky.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Two roads diverged in a yellow wood<br /><br />and sorry I could not travel both<br /><br />And be one traveller, long I stood<br /><br />and looked down one as far as I could<br /><br />to where it bent in the undergrowth;<br /><br />Then took the other, as just as fair,<br /><br />and having perhaps the better claim<br /><br />because it was grassy and wanted wear;<br /><br />though as for that, the passing there<br /><br />had worn them really about the same,<br /><br />And both that morning equally lay<br /><br />in leaves no feet had trodden black.<br /><br />Oh, I kept the first for another day!<br /><br />Yet knowing how way leads on to way,<br /><br />I doubted if I should ever come back.<br /><br />I shall be telling this with a sigh<br /><br />Somewhere ages and ages hence:<br /><br />Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--<br /><br />I took the one less travelled by,<br /><br />and that has made all the difference<br /> Robert Frost<br /></div><div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </p> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Jodi @ <a href="http://jjslongroad.blogspot.com/2006/03/three-months-my-how-time-flies.html" title="permanent link">12:42 PM</a></em> <a class="comment-link" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19708146&postID=114375265024585645"location.href=https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19708146&postID=114375265024585645;>0 comments</a> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1242618350"><a style="border:none;" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=19708146&postID=114375265024585645" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="http://www.blogger.com:80/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> </div>   <div id="comments"> <a name="comments"></a> <h4>0 Comments:</h4> <dl id="comments-block"> </dl> <p class="comment-timestamp"> <a class="comment-link" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19708146&postID=114375265024585645">Post a Comment</a> </p> <p style="padding-left:20px;"> <a href="http://jjslongroad.blogspot.com/"><< Home</a> </p> </div>  </div></div></div>   <div id="sidebar">  <center><h3> <div id="profile-container"><h2 class="sidebar-title">About Me</h2> <dl class="profile-datablock"> <dd class="profile-data"><strong>Name:</strong> Jodi </dd> </dl> <p class="profile-textblock"><br>A woman,a mother, a fiancee,a daughter, a sister,a poet,an artist,a friend...and so much more..
