Are we there yet?

So, I am officially tired of packing. Actually, I was tired of packing about halfway through the first box. :D We have a lot done--but there sure is a LOT left to do!! Right now, our plan is start loading the truck/trailer on Friday so we can head out of Midland either Friday night or as early as possible on Saturday. That only gives us about 2 and 1/2 more days to finish packing and cleaning. I think we can do it, I'm just going to be really sick of packing before we're done! :D Unpacking is much more fun...

I have now had two people text me to ask, "Are you in Weatherford yet?!" No, but we're headed that way as fast as we can! However, the question reminded me of the very infamous one that children all over the world have been known to ask: "Are we there yet?" And because my brain tends to ponder a subject until it is either thoroughly dead or has me thoroughly confused, I got to considering that question as it relates to life.

So many of us rush through life, as if the point is to reach some destination. That destination may be "college" or "employed" or "married" or "parent"...or any of a million things! But life is not a destination; it's the journey! Rather than hurrying along, asking "are we there yet?", let's enjoy the journey--we'll never pass this way again!
