Well, dear readers, it's been a while since I last posted a quote around here. Last time I checked in, it was Thanksgiving: good food, good times. Now it is almost Halloween! Looks like I won't be going anywhere this weekend, as I've finally been taken down by the cold! Yahoo, barrels of fun with all that sneezing and nose-blowing. Ah well, as long as there's still candy by the end of the weekend. And hopefully this thing will have dissipated somewhat by then. But anyways, I didn't pop in here to talk about my cold; I came in for a quote! I found this a while ago through a radio show that runs every Saturday at 9.00 a.m, but I really liked it.
It's funny these trips we take, to beaches and cottages, to mountains and lakes, and sometimes to the highways, to the place between places. We leave the things that we love, the things that are familiar to us, and trade them for the new and the different. City folks often head to the country, country folks are often city bound. We see things big and small, old and new and we collide with one another, we come together as strangers, and, if we're lucky, learn over and over again how much we are connected to one another; how even, in our differences, we are the same, and how, when we consider it, how safe the world usually is, full of people just like us who are trying their best to do the right thing, and be their best self."
