Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Coming home from a trip it feels great to do the ordinary things:  the laundry, get groceries, water the plants, sweep the kitchen.  The drudgery is lifted for a moment.  We took a walk around the reservoir, I returned phone messages, and my calendar is all caught up.  I finished a book I bought at the airport - Dark Matter -which turned out to be fascinating and left me with much to think about.  The plot involves the paths we do not take, what would happen if we could see who and what we would become.  The protagonist is likeable and loving, and he does not regret what he gave up to marry young and have a son.  I think at my age, I'm way past regret or even curiousity about what I might have done differently.  My life is so full and blessed, I could care less if I'd had more professional success.  I chose wisely, as the Crusader says in the Indiana Jones movie.
