It is better to travel well than to arrive ~ Buddha

September always makes me think of school - even though I haven’t gone back to school in a long while.
I was that kid that loved school. I loved!!! getting new school supplies - I mean who wouldn’t want new pens and pads of paper?!?? But besides the new supplies I did love being in the classroom - it was an adventure.
I feel like school was a bit like traveling. Though not as exciting as physically traveling, you were expanding your horizons and learning about new places and people and even different languages.
As a parent I tried to instill this idea about school into my girls (sadly, not quite successfully). I tried emphasize the learning and not grades, to help them see the adventure and not the drudgery. I feel every day offers us lessons and new perspectives. So I choose this quote from Buddha for this month, in the hopes that we will remember that we are all on a journey and to enjoy the ride.
Happy learning & peace, Virginia
