I have helped friends move out of dorms and acquired a free meals. Helped my second mom move out of her house and received free dinner plates and excellent furniture. Helped family move in for two weeks, and helped rearranged the house after they left.
It seems to me that everyone is moving. In my recent 80 mile trek to work, I see more and more moving trucks. Everyone is going somewhere.
Begs the question, Where am I going?
To work. Home. To doctors appointments. To sleep.
To be honest, it all feels rather circuitous. I am fairly certain that all I'm going is around.
I'm sure you have felt the same way.
But this was my sign, as I was travelling to work.

Yes, it is a roundabout. Just like I expected. But I am not the only one in it. And in fact, I am one of those people who go around the roundabout more than once.
The sign is, there isn't a sign that says you HAVE to exit after one pass. Sometimes it takes a few times through to clearly see the exit routes, read the street signs, and make up your mind. But they are there. And most of life is rather circuitous (many enjoyable things are: roller coasters, merry-go-rounds, the earth). Keep going. Keep going until you find enjoyment. Til you find the street you need. Til you are tired of the traffic. Keep going because everyone is moving.

I had two thoughts as I was reading your lovely blog post.
First, I think it's easy to get caught on the familiar and ignore the signs that lead us on a new journey.
And two, the wonderful thing about homes and families and friends are they give us the circuitous - we leave and then come back, and leave and come back - and some of them come along for the journey!
I hope you have a great day! After reading your post, I feel a little better about my circular path!
