All in One Deal

Books are the plane,

and the train,

and the road.

They are the destination,

and the journey.

They are home

In today's world people's chances of traveling fall into two categories, they can or they can't. Money is mostly the issue. It's hard for people to not experience the world as others can.

But...

There is an alternate. Books are an all in one deal package when you first buy them. AND you can visit the world over and over again. Countries and cities that only you can explore and not the people who travel the world. Plus you never have to leave the comfort of your blanket and couch. Food is cheap and the company is great.

So if you are ever disappointed that you will miss a trip, turn a page and continue the journey

A Thought When in Fear

Courage isn't a matter of not being

frightened, you know.

It's being afraid and doing

what you have to do anyway

No man has ever gone into battle and wasn't afraid. No student hasn't been nervous before a speech. Everyone is frightened at the important times in life. To have courage is simply moving your legs forward. Courage is speaking, even when you are being watched. Fear makes you human. So don't hate it. But the choice you base on your courage shows the person you are. Doing what must be done or turning and running.

Fear will guide you. Courage will shape you

Shining like a Star

And at the end of the day,

your feet should be dirty,

your hair messy,

and your eyes sparkling

This year. I can't even begin the list of adventures I went on and the things I did. Every day my family and I did something new and almost always, we were tired, messy, and worn out as every day closed. But each one of us had a new memory and a new smile. And the funny thing about the way our eyes sparkled was we didn't plan it. The entire day went with the flow. We skipped different events. Turned around to see another town. I didn't write as much as I wanted to or a book took twice as long to read. Sometimes we didn't accomplish a single check on our to-do list. But we had the time of our lives. Every second counted. 

And as the time of travel comes to a close, our eyes have never glimmered more
