Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.

Life offers a series of paths. There will be detours, unexpected stops, clear destinations, and fortuitous surprises. If we choose to enjoy the view and embrace the journey, I think we will all end up more fulfilled. Relinquishing domination of what ‘should be’ and embracing what ‘could be’ makes the unknown rewarding; even fun to discover.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-me&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://stephanierudat.tumblr.com/post/36414201241</link><guid>http://stephanierudat.tumblr.com/post/36414201241</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Nov 2012 23:05:29 -0800</pubDate><category>life</category><category>quote</category><category>surprises</category><category>journeys</category><category>expectations</category><category>discovery</category></item><item><title>"“All that is gold does not glitter,
