Let's enjoy the journey as we head into September ...

it is better to travel well than to arrive ~ buddha

september always makes me think of school - even though i haven’t gone back to school in a long while. 

i was that kid that loved school. i loved!!! getting new school supplies - i mean who wouldn’t want new pens and pads of paper?!?? but besides the new supplies i did love being in the classroom - it was an adventure. 

i feel like school was a bit like traveling. though not as exciting as physically traveling, you were expanding your horizons and learning about new places and people and even different languages. 

as a parent i tried to instill this idea about school into my girls (sadly, not quite successfully). i tried emphasize the learning and not grades, to help them see the adventure and not the drudgery. 

i feel every day offers us lessons and new perspectives. so i choose this quote from buddha for this month, in the hopes that we will remember that we are all on a journey and to enjoy the ride.

happy learning & peace, virginia
