As I stared at the road sign, I realized it seemed to mirror a decision I had been putting off for too long. The path I walked every day or turning down a new, daunting path.
The black arrow might as well whisper ‘Keep things the same, you know them, you are comfortable with them!’ while the crazy red arrow shouted ‘It is time for something new! Be bold! Explore!’
The black arrow was to remain the same; red, changing everything. I looked into my heart, then up at the sky and slowly eased the car toward the red arrow.
As always Rochelle has helped inspire me to exercise my creativity a bit. Thank you! and Dale for the great (and very confusing) picture for inspiration

Good for them! Why not experience something new? Lovely take on the photo, Tara.
Tara, I enjoyed your stream of consciousness story.
Tara, I enjoyed your story for this prompt and sadly, so many people stick with the same ol’ same ol’ (and often for good reason) but I could feel the call with “‘It is time for something new! Be bold! Explore!’
Dear Tara,
There are always choices, aren’t there? Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
