"One of the hardest decisions
made in life is to choose which
bridge to burn and which bridge
to cross." ~David Russell
From time to time, I take a good
look at my life . . . obviously, this
quote comes to mind!
How did I decide to do 10th and
11th grades away from home? So
can't believe I decided to go to
Mexico at 17 and then stayed 20
years.
My two children, born in Mexico,
actually had to come to the US to
learn English. And when I returned
after 20 years, I found the American
English I had known was quite
different. I nearly spit the first time
I heard, "That sucks!"
I could have stayed in the US. I
could have chosen to live at home.
Perhaps married and reared children
here rather than there. I had planned
on nursing, not teaching.
Can't help but think about those two
roads . . . the one chosen and the one
not taken. Not necessarily bad or good,
better or worse, just different.
One thing for sure . . . the road taken
that gifted me my children is paved
in pure gold!!!
