Today's word is a reminder to enjoy the whole of your life more. There is a tendency to fixate on all the things/situations we feel the need to attain to make us happy, or bring us peace. When we focus on these things as the ultimate destination, we lose sight of the wonderful journey we are on. Every day of your life is an adventure, filled with opportunities to make choices, take chances, and create changes.
Today, take a look at your travel plan. Have you fixed your itinerary for joy around future plans, or do you allow yourself to enjoy the scenery off the beaten path at any given moment? Today, be thankful for all that you already have within you. All the tools you need have been provided. It is now up to you to use them wisely and enjoy your travels here on Earth. We are only here for a short while, and one never knows when it will be time to clear the departure gate. Do your best to enjoy your journey today, so that you leave no room for regrets tomorrow.~ Christin Snyder, Daily Power

There was a time in my life that I was much more able to enjoy the journey. Then I lost it for a very long time in an alcoholic haze. Now I am finally, slowly finding the pleasure of a sunrise or sunset again. (or the smell of breakfast cooking, or the sound of the breeze rustling the leaves in the giant cottonwood in my backyard, or the touch of my grandson's hand wrapping around my fingers)
