Sandy and I have been really enjoying our journey together in life. I never want to get to a point in my life where I regret things I didn’t do. Life is not about your destination but the journey you are on.  Are you living the life you want?

If not, then it’s time to change. One of the things we do is when we travel, we always try to stop in cities that are at the halfway point and just enjoy that area for an hour or 2. I know most people say that I just want to get to where I am going. We believe that it’s not about getting there but enjoying the process along the way.

We have created so many memories by just stopping in cities and by doing that we are creating memories that will last a lifetime. The stop helps 2-fold.  One, is it breaks the trip into 2 mini trips by having a break in the middle plus it helps us create those memories that are priceless.

We would not change this for anything. What are you doing today that helps you enjoy your journey? We are not sure what all we can say here since it really is about the journey.

Each day we live, we try and do something new and some things that we enjoy together. Our life is filled with laughter and fun but we can be serious when we need to be. We see so many people who drive through life and never take time to smell the roses. We have never seen anyone on their deathbed say I wish I would have worked more?

But what we have seen is people say I wish I would have spent more time with family or things like I wish I would have smelled the roses more. STOP what you are doing now and add some enjoyment into your everyday life or you will have a life of regret.

We aren’t talking about changing your whole life but sometimes that may be what you need to do. What we are talking about here is adding some fun into your daily activities. If you are married then this needs to be done together so that you can share in those precious moments.

None of us knows when we will pass from this earth but we all can live our life in such a way that if it were our last day, we would pass with no regrets.

Live your life like it’s your last day and pray like it all depends on God. If you do that, you can make it very far and enjoy your journey.

If there is anything you need to say to a loved one, say it now! This will help you enjoy your journey too. This will help you to be at peace and a peaceful heart is an awesome way to live. Get rid of all bitterness and let joy come into your life.

Happiness is what happens to you and Joy is what happens in you. Joy can only come from God and can only be within you. You don’t buy Joy. Joy is not for sale!

When you ask God to guide you in the good and bad times and allow him to work through your life to touch others, you will have so much Joy, you will not know what to do. Now go out and change lives, yours first!
