It's NOT the Destination.... 

By Dave Clapper

It's the journey!!!  I hear that saying all the time and so often life gets in the way and I forget that saying.  I forget to stop and smell the roses.  I'm sure that most of you do the same but today is different.  Today, I had the most important reminder that life is way to short.  Today I lost a friend to cancer.  A friend that was a loving mother, a dedicated wife and a superstar professional.  Cancer didn't care that she was all those things.  Cancer never does.

She leaves behind two children and a husband that adored her from head to toe.  Yes, this is a sad day. Not only for me but for everyone that she touched in her WAY TOO SHORT exsistence.  Why do I bring this up?  Not to bring you down but to wake up and actually SMELL THE ROSES.  To kiss the ones you love, to tell them that you love them more than anything.  Life is fragile, we all know this deep down inside, but so often we forget.  Well here's your reminder. 

It in fact is NOT THE DESTINATION - It IS the journey!  The journey of life.  Eat it up, one bite at a time

Rest in Peace Julie K. Shaw - You will be missed
