Destinations...

Another lovely day, the type you want to wander through grass and scrunch it between your toes. Did I? Nooo...cooped up in windowless office building.
But happy for job.
Here's a nifty little thought courtesy of well, I won't tell you where I got it from: “It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves and it is not possible to find it elsewhere” - Agnes Repplier
Makes me feel oddly better. Oh loved
fresne responses to my get to know you meme. Especially the bit on Buffy or Angel, and the one on Kids.
Both were far closer to what I felt, than what I wrote. "I liked Angel, but Buffy...err there have been essays..." Yep. Also
londonkds nails my feelings on kids as well.
Have another question for anyone out there, before I do oyceter's meme, come up with 10 accomplishments you did in the past two years. They can be anything. From writing an essay and posting it to the internet to arranging to meet someone you met online for lunch. The trick? What's important is not the end result but the doing of it. Had a lightbulb moment tonight - I realized I've been looking at things all wrong - thinking that it is not an accomplishment, it is not worthy if the end result isn't shiny or great. ie. the old it doesn't matter how you played the game - did you win? Or, so what if I wrote a book - it wasn't published. Forgetting that the journey in writing the book, having people look at it, taking the criticism..is in a way more interesting and more important than whether or not it gets published.
I wonder if I'm placing too much importance on destinations?? And not enough on journeys?
