Where does life draw a line or course you should follow?
How can you become off course from your path in life?
Questions, questions, questions?
Journey of life seldom takes you on a course you are not supposed to be on.
And yet at times you can see yourself driving down an endless road to nowhere.
The road forks and you sit there deciding, where do I go? Which turn do I take?
And yet there is no answer from a magical or heavenly being, so you turn left.
Does the road end, who knows?
Continue driving until you see a small road side diner on the side of the highway.
You stop for a bite to eat and time to rest your dreary eyes from driving.
Your food arrives and as you begin to eat you notice all the truck drivers and other people from the highway slowly making their way in or out of the diner to continue on their journeys.
You pay for your check and leave a tip for the waitress.
As you leave the diner and head towards your car, you notice a family stopping off to get a bite to eat.
You wave "Hi" and continue on your journey.
The point of the journey is no one knows how long the journey will last or where life will take you except for one fact.
At some point in time or several points in time, you will go off course!
