When I was a little girl, my sisters and I would pile into the back of our parents’ Jeep Wagoneer and go for a drive with Mom and Dad along roads just like this one. If we were lucky, each of us would get to take turns sitting on Dad’s lap and practice our “driving.”  Inevitably, we would come to a bend in the road, throw up our hands and say “I can’t drive!  I can’t see where the road is going!”

My Dad would gently place our hands back on the wheel and say, “You’re okay, just follow the road that’s in front of you.” 

It feels that way now, there are many changes that are just around the bend, just out of sight, only we can’t see them, can we?

I was speaking with a small business owner recently about adaptability and how we have had to pivot, innovate, and adapt.  Never in a million years would I have thought that I would be doing what I am doing right now because I could not see beyond the bend in the road.  But, just like my wise Dad told me many moons ago, I followed the road that is in front of me.

Here is to all of you who are traveling along these roads.  While there may be some twists and turns along the way and bends you may not be able to see around, I hope that you will be able to enjoy the scenery and follow the road that’s in front of you.
