Road Sign Ahead

Today was a day of reminiscing. I have been going through all of my old files preparing for the move. As I come across some folders I think to myself, why on earth did I save that. And then there are other folders that are opened and bring back a flood of memories. Looking back over the last several years I have been blessed to be a part of so many wonderful experiences. All of these momentos serve as signposts along the road of the journey already traveled. Simple things like painted rocks, napkins that have been doodled on, and newspaper clippings. Each one tells a story of how my life has been impacted by so many different people, and how my life has impacted others as well. Some should be thrown away, and yet I just simply cannot part with them.

As I think about the past, I anxiously look forward to the future. Wondering what relic will I save from my next leg of the journey. Yes, they do making packing an office a little more difficult. However, it is worth all the extra effort. Some day, after I am gone and the decision is no longer mine, I am sure that most of the stuff will be tossed out. But until then, I carry my treasures with me, and keep an eye out for the next signpost ahead.
