Wordless Wednesday…It’s About the “In-Between”

 

The other morning on our walk, we saw some chalk art by the garden at Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve. 

 

 

While trying to make sure that I captured the “Start” and “Finish” of the chalk art, I didn’t even see the art that lay in-between. 

Look what I would have missed. 

 




Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome. 

Arthur Ashe

 

Life is a journey, it’s not where you end up but it’s how you got there. Unknown

 

Focus on the journey, not on arriving at a certain destination.

Hi Kathy,

If I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be about focusing on the journey, not the destination.  Great post to make us think.

Oh Kathy I love how you pick up on these seemingly 'small' things you see or experience throughout your day and share them with us!  I think I will start doing this too.  I see many 'little' bits of sunshine along the way each day!

Wayne Martin he was always a favorite of mine as well. 

Bob "RealMan" Timm yes, focus can be good but we can't lose sight of what else is there.

I love this quote, Kathy. Thank you for the reminder.

I loved tennis, but the quote reminds me of my marathon training for two years. It wasn't about winning the marathon; it was about finding out if and why I wanted to take the "journey." It was the "mindset" and "self-discipline" I never thought I had to carry me through the "journey" and to the finish line.

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker how lucky were you. I only got to see him on television. 

Grant Schneider there are times when we get where we are headed, we don't enjoy it as much as we thought we would.

Thank you Bill Salvatore - East Valley 

Brian England When Covid hit, we'd see more of this on the sidewalks. I think children and adults always need to express themselves. 

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 I was thinking that some people are so focused on their end goal, that they totally miss  the "getting there."

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® could not have said it better myself. The key is to take the time to enjoy every moment. 

Me too Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty Larry and I used to go to the Lake Worth Sidewalk Art festival every year. People are so creative.

The grandbabies love to make chalk art....always a great way to keep them busy for awhile.

Love the quote choices, Kathy!

I am very fond of road trips.  And, I can attest to the truth in the words of those quotes.  I don't know how many destinations driven toward, which I have been provided delightful adventures along the way.
