Enjoy the Journey

It is good to have an end to journey towards;
but it is the journey that matters in the end.
- Ursula K. Le Guin

is to move toward perfection.

or the sharp stones on life's path.

Life is a Journey - Enjoy the Journey.
Life is not a race to test
who can finish first or who can end up with the most loot.
Rather, life is best enjoyed as a meander -
watching the view to left and right - above and below -
as the days slowly move past in dress review.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

contains food and fire
for the mind as well as the body.

Home is where the heart is.
- Pliny the Elder

Home is our sanctuary, where we:
relax into being ourselves,
play with our inner child,
paint the walls green and pink,
dig in the dirt,
grow something,
love somebody else,
love ourselves even more,
snuggle with a warm blanket on a Sunday afternoon,
hang "go away" on the door whenever we want,
clean and tidy often... or never,
launch from and return to,
are truly ourselves.
