TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
After writing the beginning of this post, it made me think of this poem. Just a little food for thought...

Maggie, I was so wanting to hear from you today . . . the gift was here waiting all along. I couldn't be happier for you. Autumn has arrived here as well and has brought not only fallen leaves but memories of all I love so dearly. All my love to you. Mother
