I found this keychain in the Smoky Mountains.  Biographical or prophetic?

Headed Somewhere…Resolutions 2019

“If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else.”  Yogi Berra
​
I read with interest and dismay many of my friends posts about their resolutions, ideas and plans for 2019.  Interest, because I love my friends, and I enjoy learning what’s on their minds and hearts.  Dismay, because I had no desire to write such a thing myself.  

At this point in 2018, I had plans.  I knew what workshops I wanted to attend for photography and writing, I’d registered and paid my deposits.  I had plans with family, plans for summer camp, plans with friends.  Plans, plans, plans.  I knew where I was going.

This year?  Nada.  Nothing.  Zip.  Zilch.  Blank calendar.  I couldn’t even generate any enthusiasm for figuring it out.  Have you ever been there?

I have a new journal, but I didn’t even start writing in it until ten days into the new year.

Something will surely stir me from these doldrums, but for now I’m just waiting.  I don’t like waiting.  I like knowing where I’m going and how I’m going to get there.

I’ve put my own spin on Yogi’s quote above:

If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there?

If I find the answer, I’ll let you know.  

In the meantime, I’m headed somewhere.
