A Road Less Travelled

Gabrielle’s last post got me thinking. I’ve heard the story before, and I had about the same reaction. The Wednesday she described would just frazzle me. Driving stresses me out. People stress me out. Gabrielle is good at that sort of thing and I’m not.
I haven’t had the same vision of a non-college life that she does. I kind of like her vision, and I hope I get better at it, but I think I must have my own version of it that hasn’t quite fallen into place yet.
I didn’t start out with exactly this plan for my life. For I while I even considered (gasp!) college. Then I planned to spend six months with James and Theresa and then go on to other non-college education opportunities. I still hope to learn some of the skills on my list (glassblowing and such) and I’d still love to visit Scotland. But for now my home base is here as an assistant homemaker. Because in some way I can’t explain, I belong here.
