[LJ Idol 10: Week 10] The Goal

[cheshire23]

Many years ago in Rochester, the pastor of the UU church I belonged to gave a series of sermons on "Lessons Learned from Mountain Climbing."

I'll be honest - I don't remember most of that series.  But there is one that I've never forgotten, one statement that changed my outlook in the long term:

The goal is not the peak - it is the parking lot.

Alright! That's fantastic! It must feel satisying to be able to do more than you thought would be possible! Nice job. Hug and peace~~~

This is lovely. And yes, having been on a few to many out and back hikes where I didn't fully take into consideration how long the back was going to be, it's a lesson well worth learning.

Movement is a goodness, I'm glad you've been able to find it again.
