Hi Sarah.

Just leaving a little comment regarding your poem at the end of your post for this week. It's an interesting angle you take for the writing and works well, I feel.

In knowing these ahead of time though we cheat ourselves out of being able to enjoy the journey rather than the destination. And it's the journey which makes up our lives and shapes who we ultimately turn out to be. Very interesting to mull over, nonetheless.

Take care,
Chris

I think that was the point of the poem.

Isn't it grand?

It's often the fear of the unknown that holds us back.
But i have made a covenant with myself to never do so.
To always "seize the day"

Sarah.
