You are special Punta Girl, you're no ordinary mommy or wife, you're the Punta Girl from San Pedro leading a wild and extraordinary life. Keep smiling.

Hope you don't mind - had to post this email my boss sent me once. Hope you all don't mind, but I enjoyed it and I reread it often when I think I need to be heading somewhere specific. Read on and enjoy.
__________________________________________
THE STATION
By Robert Hastings

Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the window, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering--waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. "When we reach the station, that will be it!" we cry. "When I'm 18." "When I buy a new 450 SL Mercedes Benz!" "When I put the last kid through college." "When I have paid off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion." "When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!" Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at, once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly out-distances us.

"Relish the moment" is a good motto to have and one I have been trying to keep in my sight since I've returned from San Pedro.

Hope this wasn't too long for you on the board and if it was sorry.

Wow Becky.... that was really profound reading. That is definitely a keeper.

And on the lighter side... Jane? small? remember I told you anything over a mouthful is a waste!
