It's good to have an
end to journey toward;
but it's the journey that matters in the end.
~ Ernest Hemingway*
Dear Master Travel Agent ~
As You already know, I've come a good distance on this journey and sometimes I don't know how I've gotten this far let alone figured out where I'm headed. Oh I know I'm ultimately headed in Your direction and that how I get there matters, it's just that there have been so many twists and turns along the road so far and I'm sort of directionally challenged at times. Am I headed down or up the right road? I'm hoping that effort, spelling, and punctuation count toward my final grade (please, though, not neatness). In the meantime, I'm just here to ask for the usual traveler stuff ~ please continue as my Guide and Companion along the Way and let me recognize You wherever I go and in whoever I know and meet along the way. I know that Google Maps won't help but I look forward to little hints here and there that I'm on the right track. Thanks for letting me get this far and, if it's not too much of a bother, I'd like to go on for quite a while yet, whatever the bumps and bites and storms are yet to come. amen.

*Ernest Hemingway, [1899-1961] American journalist and
author, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, his writings are
considered classics in American literature. Multiple marriages and a
colorful life led Hemingway down many roads in his fairly short but completely
filled journey that culminated in suicide in 1961 but left a legacy of words
that will never die.
