A card from a friend

They say that life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.

One minute we know exactly where we're going, then it's as if some mean-spirited little gremlin has ripped up the road map, broken the compass, and made off with the spark plugs just for good measure.

When things get that messed up, it would be easy to say "whatever" and just sit down and quit.

But no matter how tempting that might be, we both know it's not your style. You have the imagination it takes to rethink your dreams and the courage to set off again--whether it's down a detour or a new road altogether.

The important thing is to keep going at your own pace, with rest stops whenever you need them and pauses now and then for scenic overlooks. You're on your way, even if it's not perfectly clear just where you're headed.....

Relax, look around you, and enjoy the journey. It's part of you who you'll be when you get there.

Thank you Jodi.

I love these words as I feel as if these are things you would be saying to Christina and I right now. It's difficult to imagine but we will someday, enjoy the journey. I promise.
