Fabulous Quote

I was checking out blogs today and saw this one on Ali Edwards blog - It is filling my heart with joy - just perfect for this time in my journey !!  Enjoy !!


ANNA QUINDLEN : Life is made of moments, small pieces of silver amidst long stretches of tedium. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won't happen. We have to teach ourselves now to live, really live...to love the journey, not the destination.
