It's the Journey

Ever since I heard the phrase it's the journey and not the destination I knew instantly it was going to be a lifelong mantra for me. Call me a dreamer, but in life as I've learned so far, is learning to enjoy all the mundane things in life, because the fact of the matter is we spend most our existence in the daily routine (eating, sleeping, going to work) and if we are not actually doing those things we are thinking about  how to eat better, sleep more and work less. So you see, our lives are basically revolving around those three things.  Exciting moments are rare like new love, new job, new house, vacation, and maybe even getting an ipad!  The trick is learning to enjoy the daily stuff  like waiting in a grocery line (chat with the person behind you, comment on how fresh the tomoatos are today), sitting in traffic (turn the music up and sing like you are top ten american idol), waiting to use the ATM (smile at the prospect of getting good ol cash in your hands, holding for customer service (though truth be told, I have lost it in several instances with my DirecTV rep for billing errors that were not my fault).  Ok, I admit, not everyday is roses doing the routine stuff, but you can't fault a girl for trying to live for the journey.
