Thankfully, I have been winning the struggle. Chris, you have had a positive influence on me in finding my path; I am very appreciative of your impact on me and I thank you for that.Roland Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510269002146276854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-55263358910821653992016-09-26T18:13:25.710-04:002016-09-26T18:13:25.710-04:00Well, that WOULD be an example of a GOOD rut...Well, that WOULD be an example of a GOOD rut...CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-21104621292373720682016-09-25T22:01:51.649-04:002016-09-25T22:01:51.649-04:00I know that this has a religious note to it (DUH) ...I know that this has a religious note to it (DUH) but I find that we all are in the rut of looking at what we don't have or focusing on what is wrong.<br /><br />IE: "It's such a beautiful day, if it wasn't so windy."<br /><br />If we could just stop at beautiful day, we'd find a whole lot more to be appreciative of and just maybe, we'd never even notice he wind. Maybe we'd even come to be thankful for the rut that acts as a barrier from it. :)Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-88155056518913509812016-09-25T19:57:54.190-04:002016-09-25T19:57:54.190-04:00And in Fort Wayne...it's most of the roads, er...And in Fort Wayne...it's most of the roads, ergo, a way of life...lol.<br />;)Bob G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09222203353717749897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-20979109046611582172016-09-25T18:26:43.515-04:002016-09-25T18:26:43.515-04:00Yeah, now go get me Jimmy Cricket to stand on my s...Yeah, now go get me Jimmy Cricket to stand on my shoulder and remind me.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-59573820534643432652016-09-25T18:25:49.532-04:002016-09-25T18:25:49.532-04:00In the States, a rut is a worn patch in the road.

Perhaps that becomes our "first fight"?<br />Preparing us for the "bigger picture", no doubt.<br /><br />Whenever I view our alley and the ruts IT has, I will view them (and myself) a bit differently.<br />Again, a very good post.<br /><br />Do stay safe up there, brother.Bob G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09222203353717749897noreply@blogger.com
