I'll be the first to admit that I am a thinker...often over-thinking things...sometimes even deep thinking about things, but I'm not that great at expressing my thoughts so this all may sound a little silly. Oh well. That being said....am I the only one that sees the great wisdom in this road sign? When we first moved into our home a couple years ago, the street did not go through, hence the need for this sign. When I first noticed it, I had someone close to me going through a very difficult time. With my thoughts on this person, it immediately jumped out at me when I was walking one morning. I think the words hold such a beautiful message. I love thinking of this sign when I feel like I've reached a dead end of sorts in my life...beyond this temporary dead end will be future development for me. Development that I hope will make me stronger. I think in large part how temporary that dead end is can be controlled by me...I can hang out there or hopefully immediately push past it and find a new path. So here's to coming up on dead end's and seeing where the development leads!

hmmm....I wonder who the person going through a hard time was ;) .
Love you so much......
Very cool, Julie -- and no - you're not the only one. Frank is sure when I come down stairs and say, "got nothin'" I'll die. That's why its so great to have a blog -- get some of those thoughts out!
Your activities even have the stamp of approval from the general authorities of the Church, as Elder Hallstrom shared his own photographs of profound road signs during this past Priesthood session. In case you didn't hear, he took a street sign that said "Easy St." and right beneath it was the traditional yellow "Dead End" sign.
