The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Hope this post finds you all doing well.  I am always inspired by this poem to try new things and not be afraid to take the road less traveled.  So, here's the list. On the knitting agenda is a pair of toe up socks from "Simple Socks Plain and Fancy" by Priscilla A. Gibson-Roberts. (Or I could just finish all the W.I.P.s in the basket!)   Then I must plant the 100+ seedlings I ordered from the Conservation Department including Peacan Trees,  Walnut Trees, Dogwood Trees and more.  Some dry days will be helpful there! Next I must learn how to work this little ipod that is bound to organize me and my life...if only I can learn to fill it full of all my valuable information.  And finally, the brand new sewing machine, still in it's box, is waiting for a trial run. 
 
As you can see I am in desperate need of inspiration!  But I can't be the only one who needs encouragement to conquer the new and venture into unknown territory. So I am offering you this poem and a pat on the back.  Forge ahead! You can do it!  Break a leg!  And all that stuff!
 
Happy Spring!
