I’m at a crossroads in my life. Should I continue as I am or change direction? What’s the right thing to do with what’s left of my days?
(See what I did there? Right, left!)
But I’ve had fun, even naughty fun, and I want more.
(What? Mind your own business!)
Or should I take life more seriously? Maybe travel a bit. I’ve read about yellow beaches and green valleys.
(Red, yellow, green, get it?)
Wakey-wakey, daydreaming again. I didn’t notice the lights go green.
“No need to hoot, I’m moving”.
Oh f***!
“Sorry mate”.
I selected reverse. Seems nothing’s gonna change!

Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and Na’ama Yehuda for the photo
Tap Froggie to see what others have made of it!
Hahahaha Keith !!
This kind of daydreaming happens all the time 😂😂
…and don’t I know it! Thanks, Nima
Wink wink 😂🤪
I think I was behind you at the intersection the other day. The green arrow to turn? I was honking my horn? Daydreaming Huh?
Ah, that was you! Sorry!
It’s easily done. Some of the best conversations are to be held with yourself.
Absolutely. At least we are usually in agreement!
I was so much in his head that I missed the green lights too.
Haha! I hope your language was less fruity!
Haha! Perfect reason to smile early morning. Thanks
Just as I hoped! Thanks, Sadje.
A pleasure 😃
Excellent analogy of life Keith, I always seem to be in the wrong lane going the wrong way!
I’m pleased it’s not just me! Cheers Iain.
Oh, this was very cleverly done, Keith! Enjoyable read. 🙂

I’m pleased you like it Susan, thank you.
Naughty fun?
Does Rosey know?
Or has she already parked all that nonsense?
Oh, she knows and no she hasn’t! Cheers CE.
Keith, that was a fun one! I liked your take on the prompt as being very creative, even if the daydreams are kind of random for us. Good humor throughout!
I’m pleased, thanks so much.
You are most welcome!
Dear Keith,
I’d say he chose the wrong moment to change directions. 😉 Fun stuff. Love he frog. Hoot! Hoot!
Shalom,
Rochelle
Too true Rochelle! Delighted to have amused you!
This person is going every which way but loose! Such fun wordplay with the colors/homonyms. Cute froggie too.
Thanks for you lovely comment Jade, it’s much appreciated.
You are very welcome.
You have to dream, and you have to express those dreams. We are all in too big a hurry now.
Absolutely true Mimi!
I would totally do the same!
Oh dear, you too?!! Cheers.
Well, Keith, I’d recommend more driving and less daydreaming … and … perhaps, deferring important decisions to later … 😉
Wise advice Na’ama – and thanks for the picture!
🙂
Perhaps he is at crossroads talking to Hecate in his mind. 😀.
I think many of us have these sorts of day dreams, very realistic. Fun read K.
Perhaps he is! And yes, we do indeed. Thanks Tannille.
no problem… your insurance will cover it. 🙂
That’s true! Cheers plaridel.
Love the humor, Keith. You had fun writing this one 🙂
I certainly did Linda!
A good chuckle for me tonight, Keith.
I’ve had so many times I seem to have conversations at traffic lights until the car behind honks to wake me. LOL
Great tale …. Be safe … Be Healthy … Be Happy
Isadora 😎
I’m sure most of us have! Thanks for your lovely comment Isadora.
Yes, we have. Your very welcome … it’s always a pleasure to read you tales. 😎
Ah! Those conversations in our head, haven’t we all been there. Especially on a solo drive, stuck in traffic.
I love the analogies you drew. Deft as always. I hope you didn’t reverse into Rosey. She is gonna give you one tough time, Keith!
Be well.
I often come up with ideas for stories when on a boring journey! As for Rosey, she’d never let me forget it!
She is a sweetheart after all. :)))
Yup. Selecting reverse usually is not a good idea.
Indeed! Cheers Danny.
Well, I guess backwards is a direction… 🙂
It is, but not the recommended one!
If you’re going travelling take me with you!
Hop aboard! Cheers Liz
I agree, sometimes if feels like forever waiting for traffic lights to change, and everything goes into reverse.
Absolutely. Thanks James.
Ha! Ha! Nice one. Dreamers have to make sacrifices. Though some days it does feel as if you are driving the wrong way up a one way lane.
So true! I know that feeling well. Cheers subroto.
Well that lovely ditty brought a smile to my face. Well done. 🙂
I’m pleased! Thanks so much Bill.
A great fun piece. Daydreaming!
I think always have fun if you can. Laugh out loud!
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks Laurie.
Traffic lights do provide a good opportunity to overthink and daydream. I liked the little elbow-nudges in brackets!
So they do! Thanks so much Fatima
That was good for a laugh. I especially enjoyed the parentheticals.
