I was driving down a road
on a beautiful Sunday recently when I saw the most evocative road sign: “Rough
Road.” As I traveled down the milled blacktop, I pondered that orange sign and
all its implications. Don’t we all have a rough road sometimes? In this
workaday world, you’re just trying to get by. You fight traffic on the way to
work, spar with your boss, and go home exhausted. You get your paycheck and it
might be just enough to pay the mortgage and buy some new shoes for the kids.
Your brakes might be making a squealing sound and your work shirt might be
looking a little shabby. Your credit card balance might be a little high. That
sign said so much about life and I appreciate the philosophical message PennDOT
was sending to all those beleaguered drivers out there. God knows it’s not
easy. It is a rough road. It is rough
sometimes. But you know what? You can get by.
