At birth we boarded
the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our
side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train,
leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by,
other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our
siblings, friends, children, and even the love of our life. Many will
step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we
don't realize they vacated their seats.
This train ride
will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and
farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers
requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to
everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So,
we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.
It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and
leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who
will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful
journey on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. Be thankful
for the journey. And, thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.

Glad to share the carriage with you Sylvia!!! YAM xx
Your commentary today is very thoughtful and thought-provoking, Sylvia.
i like this very much.
I enjoyed this beautifully written piece about life and hope we all are in for a very long ride.
It has been amazing how many people have stepped on and off my train. Great post Sylvia.
This is a nice metaphor. If only we could realize there are no "races," but we're all one human race, it would help.
And, then, of course, there have been times when my life became a train wreck! :)
Have a super day, my friend!
What a wonderful way to look at life. Thanks for sharing Sylvia!
