(Not So) Wordless Wednesday ...In Bristol TN/VA Area 2.15.12 ...How many Limbs Do You Go Out On?

Every time I drive by this tree it makes me think about all the different directions we head out into each and everyday. This tree emphatically demonstrates just how many different limbs there can be on a tree or in real life ...and it's just when all the leaves have fallen that you truly see all the branches that it really has.

Think about all the different limbs you climb out on each and everyday ....

Family
Faith
Friends
Helping those in need
Job
Staying in shape
Pets
Financial
Vacations
Health
Hobbies
Community Service
Volunteering
Standing up and out for a good cause

The above are just a few of the limbs we climb out on everyday ....the most important thing to remember is do what ever you have to do to make sure you keep those branches strong!

Have a great day!

Rob, Wintertime trees when the leaves fall really show the limbs and whether they are strong or not..

Without the roots there can be no limbs. They support the trunk which supports the branches which prepare the leafs and the flowers. The Root to it all...

Rob - the tree of life has many branches ..... they are stronger closer to the trunk ..... the farther we go out on a limb the greater the chance of the branch breaking behind us.

Howdy and evening Rob

Rob my friend, this sure is a mighty fine looking black and white photo, which I think it actually makes the Tree stand out even more. I sure can see why it gets you to thinking all the different directions that are taken in real life.

Have a good one

Your photograph certainly demonstrates your points. Some of the limbs of our lives need more attention than others and it is difficult for many of us to find the right balance.
