Cold Mornings

Every now and then, I start journaling or blogging.  I usually fizzle out after only a short time.  I think part of it is that I always write about what I think I should be writing about, instead of what I want to write about.  That's where this blog is coming from.  "Fine Destination" comes from one of my favorite quotes from my favorite book, Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver.  "What keeps you going isn't some fine destination, just the road you're on and the fact that you know how to drive."  That sentiment has stuck with me for a long time because it's all about the journey, and my whole life is a journey.  So this blog is going to focus on that -- the journey.  Not the huge, memorable moments or major milestones, but every little thing that passes by and makes each day beautiful.  The everyday miracles, gifts, and joys.  That's what makes life what it is.  That's what keeps me going.

This morning, I am grateful for the extreme cold that means I get to go into work two hours later than usual.
