Meri's Musings

There's a saying that if you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there. The current norm in American society is based on plans and goals and incremental steps toward those goals (which mostly deal with career advancement and the accumulation of material things). God forbid you should just drift along,  waiting to see where the current takes you. Working toward goals is fine, but you can't control serendipity  or ignore those unplanned opportunities. Well, you can. . .  but it's probably a mistake. Sometimes the best scenery is on a blue highway. And, looking back, it seems to me that everything I did led me to the logical next step  without a whole lot of planning agony. It all kind of hung together as if there was some grand master plan for me to discover. Maybe it's true that if we follow our path, the next step will appear. 

The winter solstice is almost here. Being at Stonehenge or Newgrange would be exciting, but a trip wasn't in my budget this month. However, you can watch solstice at Newgrange on December 20 and 21 via this link https://www.irelandsancienteast.com/wintersolstice Celebrate the slow but steady return of the light.
