Happiness is a Road Called Freedom

lon_eif4Today I embark upon a whole new journey. I’m unsure yet as to exactly where my journey will take me, although the destination isn’t important. Perhaps I won’t ever reach a final destination, and that’s okay. Enjoying the journey each step of the way is my aim.

The concept of this journey began three months ago, with the inspiration to take the first step forward. By the second month, I was on the right track with my ideas, the purpose of my journey being realised.

By the time month three had arrived, the wonder of what I had achieved so far, through the power of my mind, was a delight for me to behold. Maybe, just maybe, this journey would actually take place.

And now, it is; with plans being finalised in month four.

Regardless of where this journey ultimately finds me, one thing I am sure of, the anticipation of what lies ahead is bringing me happiness; so much so that I would like to share my journey with you, my friends.

Would you care to join me….? Before you make your decision, please allow me to describe a little of what you might call my itinerary.

  • Every month will find us at a brand new interim point of destination. The roads we travel along may have an occasional rough spot, although I will do my utmost to avoid any pot-holes, to ensure your journey with me remains ultimately calm.
  • Together, we will navigate through the twists and bends in the road ahead fearlessly, and with ease. Upon discovering a branch in the road, my intuition will assist me in making the final decision as to which course I will take, and I will encourage you to feel free to allow your own intuition to guide you. That’s the beauty of this journey; the ultimate freedom to make choices and decisions as the journey progresses.
  • You must try your hardest not to fret if you feel that a wrong choice has been made. Remember, no decision is final; it is totally acceptable to change your mind along the way. You will find the journey to be far more pleasurable, if you allow yourself the freedom of changing your mind, should you find the road you have chosen to take doesn’t quite reach your expectations.
  • Please, rest assured, as you take this journey with me, I am there, supporting you. We will laugh together, sometimes cry together, and there will be times when we will cry laughing together!
  • When encouragement is what you need, I’m there for you. If you feel insecure, I will cheer you on. And I’m hoping you will continue to be there for me also, just as you have been during the last three months, preceding this journey.
  • Together, we will meet new friends along the way. The vehicle in which we are travelling this journey is capable of holding an infinite number of people, our souls enjoying the freedom to find one another.
  • Feel free to join me in a coffee, as we travel along this road together. Perhaps you prefer tea; you choose.
  • We will appreciate the scenery along whichever road we choose to take. If we wish to stop a while along the way to admire something of beauty which we have spotted, we will; we have the freedom to “stop and smell the roses” at any point in time.
  • My ultimate aim, throughout this journey, is to bring you happiness.

So, what do you think? Will you join me? Hopefully, my itinerary is detailed enough for you to make a choice.

Oh, before I leave, just one thing I haven’t mentioned yet. Whatever road I choose to take as this adventure unfolds, there’s one thing I know for sure; I will be travelling along the road called Freedom.

Now, what do you think…will you join me? :)

    Hi Joanne .. I love the photo .. and the path you’re suggesting .. just sorry that I have so much going on, as I’d love to be there .. joining in smelling the roses, seeing every part of the journey however small ..

    I am on a journey .. a journey of moving, downsizing, decluttering and then restarting with new vigour .. quite excited and will be along a similar route to you .. just a little later .. but it’s is free making .. as you say..

    Enjoy the journey .. Hilary

  2. Hilary! How wonderful to see you again!

    Your own upcoming journey sounds like one you are looking forward to taking and I wish you well as you move, downsize and declutter…sounds tiring, liberating and invigourating, all at the same time!

    Please drop by at any time when you have a spare moment or two. I’ll be here, ready to smell the roses with you. :) Take care. xxx

    I would love to join you … but right now I feel like a poor choice for a traveling companion. Stressed out and indecisive and not so sure how much joy I can bring to our little expedition. Am I allowed to drop in anyway? ;)

    Congratulations, Joanne, on now being a regular contributor!

  4. Lovely CG, you could never be a poor choice of companion…your personality exudes sunshine!

    At Freedom Space, I am encouraging everyone to make choices in their lives, through their own free will, doing the things that “feel” right for them at the time. I would just love for you to drop by, any time you choose! :)

    Try to keep calm and stay focused on your goals…you’re in my thoughts. :)
