Do you ever wish you knew how a certain situation was going to turn out? I know that I do. I will sometimes say to myself “If only I had known x,y,z was going to occur, I would have done things differently.” The problem is, I wasn’t meant to know that. I have to live my life based on facts or gut instincts and do what I think is right. There is not going to be a giant spotlight that comes out of the sky and points me on the right path. Gandalf is not going to appear and do this for me:
That would be pretty awesome. I am a geek at heart and one can hope, but for now, I make my own decisions, and am doing the best I can with the knowledge I have. If I did not try this new path out, I would always, always wonder. So for now, I am traveling down an unfamiliar road. I have no scouting party, but I do have my best-friend. Much like Frodo with his ever faithful Samwise. It is time to announce that I am taking a sabbatical this year. I have hinted at it in previous posts, but I am doing it. Wish me luck folks. The road is scary, but I must travel this way to see what happens. I have been writing children’s stories for years, and it is past time I do something with them. The time is now.
