Doors...windows...gates...
My life path has taken me many places...I have trod down many bumpy and rocky roads...
I have walked the straight and narrow...
I have recklessly jogged on splintery swinging bridges...
At times, I have had to crawl in order to keep going...
I have had doors shut in my face...
I have windows of opportunity opened for me...
Now, I am standing at the garden gate...
Do I enter for a time of respite in the refreshing garden...
Or do I continue to the unknown?

Continue bravely, Jo, as you always have.
You are an amazing human being. The word ``resilient'' is not powerful enough to describe you.
Glad you enjoyed today's Verse and Worse.

I believe that God always puts in front of you what is needed to be done.
That is a beautiful picture. I can't quite tell if it is a photo or a painting.
Blessings to you today.

A lovely picture with an inspirational message. Inside the colourful garden you are safe and secure but beyond the gate there are horizons of promise.

I love the title, the prose....but particularly the pictures. Remember that whenever God closes a door, He opens a window. We just have to remember to look for it!

Jo, yesterday Flan and I spent some time in peaceful gardens. Now we're back into the unknown!
The image of crawling to keep going resonates deeply, especially after the jogging on swinging bridges.
Keep on keeping on, but do find time for rest and replenishment. I believe both are possible. Love...

Jo refreshing garden sounds great, however, the unknown is more challenging, and at times rewarding because we learn. Anna :)
