Take another road, just like Jimmy Buffett and I did...

Today I noticed my neighbor has a "parrot head" license plate holder. You would think is adorable if you knew my neighbor... I never pictured her as a "parrot head", but it made me think of my favorite Jimmy Buffett song...Take Another Road.

It is a song of great escape, and I took another road for years and escaped to my own "Happy World" I created right inside my own brain. I'm sure you've all done this sort of thing, for many reasons on many occasions. Each person has their own method of dealing.

Take a look at the chorus, which sums up how we all feel from time to time: 

Take another road to a hiding place
Disappear without a trace
Take another road to another time
On another road in another time
Like a novel from the five and dime
Take another road another time

The roads of life brought me to Putnam, CT, and this is indeed my Happy World. 


Although you may travel down some roads that don't feel quite right, never look back. Follow where they take you, meet who you will, and learn what you can. 

Don't be afraid to "take another road", both literally and figuratively. Hopefully those roads will lead you to your Happy World. 


I am a Putnamaniac because the roads brought me here to my Happy Place!
