"The Road Less Travelled"

This is the title of a book that I read many years ago.  The author is H. Scott Peck.  I already knew of Scott Peck's work, but this title intrigued me.  I feel that I have so often taken the road less travelled.  If I am at the fork of a road and one fork leads to a well travelled, paved, worn road and the other leads to a rough, partially paved, with grass growing up in the middle, road.......Guess which one I usually take?  These less travelled roads have taken me to some interesting places.  Some of these places were scary, some were wonderful, some felt like the way to hell and some led me to some kind of heaven; one thing they all had in common was that none of them were ever dull.  As I look back I realize that I was never a follower, I don't think I was a leader either, at least I never wanted to be.  There were times when I found myself in that role and I would always wonder what I was doing there.  I know now that I have always had touble accepting the "status quo"
whatever that means, I think it means accepting things as they are.  When the way things are appear bad or unhealthy to me I usually set out to change them.  When I was younger I would set out to change them without much thought as to the consequences.  That is the wondeful thing about youth, we don't really stop and consider consequences that much.  I find that as A 70 Something Woman I consider the consequences at least a little more.  However, I still find myself on "The Road Less Travelled" a lot of the time.
