Getting there.

     Here comes a confessional.. I love to read. *gasp* I know you're all shocked ;) LOL! My favorite author came out with a new book and for all my fellow book lovers out there you understand just how exciting that is. I kept it set aside to read after finals and here a week later I finally started reading. You see, it's exciting to read a new book (especially an anticipated one like this one) but at the same time I have this problem with once I start reading I can't stop until it's over and once it's over well it's done and that is sad. But in the end the journey is always worth it.
     Life is a lot like that. Things come our way that we are looking forward to and all too soon it ends and the event is over. But what about the journey? What about getting there? That is the important part. That is where we learn and that is where it all happens. In a book (or even a movie) you follow a character(s) through a journey where they have to go beyond themselves to reach something. In life we are always reaching for the next thing and forget to stop and enjoy what is going on.
     I am looking forward to my last year of college starting in the fall and also flying home for the summer but there are a lot of things that are going to happen between now and then. Between hanging with friends as well as family and seeing my little cheepie chirpies get awards Sunday night and reading a plethora of books, it will be hard to just enjoy life and not think about the next thing. There are so many things to look forward to and this journey will be exciting to say the least. :)
