Oh was it my turn?

I have almost singlehandedly stopped our blog, sorry bout that, but as you can learn from the following poem, we all have a choice, and I have chosen to finally post something! This is a poem I came across recently by Allen Steble (good first name) that I liked.

We all have a choice
To live a lie
Or be ourselves
To laugh and cry
Or to follow someone else

To look up and smile
Or bow down and frown
To walk the whole mile
Or take off our crown

We have a choice
To shout out loud
Or chant a whisper
To fly through the clouds
Or to be blown like paper

To conquer our fear
Or hide in the shadow
To the wise words hear
Or be thrown out the window

We all have a choice
To climb our highest mountain
Or fall into our deepest hole
To drink from life's fountain
Or live life like a troubled soul

To learn love in the heart
Or grasp to hate with regret
To wake up and start
Or sleep until sunset

We all have a choice
To speak truly with ourselves
Or go against what seems

We all have a choice
To fulfill our greatest dreams

What I would like to take from this is to simply enjoy life and keep everything in perspective.

The choice is ours to do so!

And I decided to throw in a completely random picture from Zion's National Park.
That razor thin ridge (complete with sheer cliffs on either side) in the middle of the picture is part of the hike to Angel's Landing, which I think a few of our family has conquered!
