a moment to refocusonlife


Good Afternoon!

Some of my favorite childhood memories are of family trips. I can recall being so excited to go to bed the night before a trip knowing that we would be getting up at 5 am to roll out to the beach. I’m still not sure why we always left so early!?

One time after visiting Myrtle Beach we had gotten about 30 minutes or so into the return trip, and my grandma asked, “we ‘bout in Statesville yet?”. I think we were in Florence, SC if we were even that far. She was certainly a character. But, what a wonderful memory she made for my entire family!

My point here is this; every journey begins and ends with “the getting there”. If we focus only on the destination, sometimes we forget that getting there IS half the fun. This is just as easily applied to life as it is to a flight to New York City or a car ride to Lake James. Live in the present. Make the journey as fun as the destination. And remember that oftentimes the people in our journey with us will create the best memories.

Have a great week!
