dear readers,

"the road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination."

- don williams jr.

this is one of my favorite quotes ever! and isn't the picture precious? but this quote definitely makes sense to me. this is something that i have learned in my terribly long life of twenty years (note the sarcasm). but really. everything in my life that has been worth learning and living for has been something i've gained from a journey. the goal is always important, but make sure that you let yourself enjoy the journey. not all journey's are pleasant. absolutely not. but if you can find one thing to be grateful for, feel grateful for the experience those painful journeys give you. the things that we learn the hardest ways will be the lessons we will never forget.
