Dreaming and preparing to walk 500 miles! Or how does a middle aged mom, soon to grandmom get ready to drop it all and go on a pilgrimage in the North of Spain.

** The Road Not Taken **
My first thought as I came to this particular intersection as of Frost...and the road not taken...So I thought I 'd share them together with you... |
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
