Welcome to the Junction!

Growing up in a small town in North Carolina, I learned very early on what a Junction was. A junction in my eyes is a place where we have to stop and figure out where we are going and what we are doing. Welcome to the Junction, where life's choices and little things are to be explored!

Patience in the Junction


There are a few things in this world I love doing.  One is reading and the other is gardening.  I adore both and don’t get to do either that often.  When I do do them, I love to take my time.  I can spend hours on a porch swing reading about the adventures of “Joe-smo-from-cocomo”.  And I can spend hours playing in a garden.  Watering and digging in the dirt.  Maybe it’s the only acceptable way as an adult that you can get dirty, hehe!  I love watching what I do produce some sort of product.  Its fulfilling, putting in so much time to something and watching as it pays off in the end.  My dog on the other hand….im all impatience.  At my junction today I realized If I can put so much time into a tomato, why cant I do that with my dog or even my husband?  What makes the two most important men in my life besides God and my daddy drive me bonkers when Im in a hurry?   Today Im going to work on patience at my junction, because in the end I know it will “all work out in the wash” (and maybe even get za’ hubby to do the dishes J)!

Welcome to the Junction!

At the Junction of any Railroad crossing there is bustling of people and a sense of hurry that entraps the most unique individuals.  It is almost guaranteed that human interaction is at its most primal when trying to get where your going.  All senses are heightened, all conservations seem extremely important, the hustle and bustle thrills every part of you.  It is when we stop to make a conservation, watch a family stick together, do a good deed, and look within ourselves do we become humbled in the moments of our life.  It is at those moments that we learn to breath, come to find happiness, and live.  No matter where you are at in life, you will always be at your very own junction.   The people you meet, talk to, and things you do at your junction all help to get you to where your going in life.  It is by choice that we figure out how we get there, but we have to start somewhere and that’s where our journey begins.  At our very own junction.  Welcome to mine.
