To ride the train; or not?

The conductor from the Polar Express said the following: "The thing about trains...it doesn't matter where their going.  What matters is deciding to get on."  This is a question that we all ask ourselves probably without even knowing it.  Are we going to participate in life (life being the train) or are we going to sit back and watch life.  I for one have decided to ride the train of life; its kind of crazy symbolic right now because as I am writing this the train just went by and blew his whistle as if to say you better get on life is passing you by.  So with that I ask you are you going to ride the train?

Brynlee Claire loved riding the train; watching as things passed by.
Ella chose not to ride Thomas but she was happy to see us take the ride.
Ella likes trains that she has control over; so I guess there are different ways to ride the train.
In the end we all have the choice "ride the train " or "not"; or choose which train you ride.  We all had a blast visiting Thomas that day and we made memories that will last forever because of that train.
