You spin the dust of historic Jacksonville into gold. Thank you again for an excellent read.
PS: My siblings and I resisted the attempts of our parents to enlighten us with roadside signs by consistantly referring to them as "Hysterical Markers"...of course, we would add our own irreverant spin to the signage. You can lead a kid to culture but...
What a wonderful piece! It makes me think back to all the crossroad choices that shaped my life. One thing I do not regret is time spent with those I love the most. I was so frenetic about speaking/traveling/writing and I still remember missing my youngest son's championship basketball game as I had a previous speaking engagement. Ugh. Still. I'm glad I took the risk to get published, to write. Writing books is like having children. You have to tend them, raise them up. And they never seem to go away. (And you always want more!) Is there room for all of it? I think so. Tend what's closest to your heart.
