Roads Roads can take us many different places… Long roads can get us to destinations like graduating, owning a home, or retiring. The “open road” offers trips to new places and to life’s many adventures. Dirt roads cause you to slow down, enjoy the view, and ponder life. Taking the “high road” helps you make better choices in life and keeps you out of the gutter. The broad road allows you to follow the crowd… be careful of where they are headed. Winding roads can take us through the country, and down “memory lane”. When you make mistakes, you may end up on a “bumpy road”. Don’t lose heart, smooth pavement may be just around the bend. While you’re on the “road to success”, stop and re-fuel when you need to. But don’t veer off course. If you find your self on the “wrong road”, always take the nearest exit! There will be many forks in the road, as you travel through life. Sometimes you choose a direction with your head… sometimes with your heart… Nina Herron 2020 Competition - 1st Place in Salem
