The Goal to the Journey
Something Different, again
Is it the journey or the goal we reach, that gives the meaning to the experience? This is what we wonder.
I think it's the journey. We embark on the journey of life. Along the road we might make a goal and reach it. If though, for exaple marriage, is the goal your journey doesn't end there, but you continue on and maybe set another goal.
Some say that the journey is important, when you have a goal. You try and reach that goal maybe failing a couple times but getting better and reaching it and looking back the journey was indeed the experience. But do you need to have a goal to every journey? That depends. What is the goal to the journey?
Think about it. Are we too busy dreaming of a goal we don't see the journey to it? And if we reach said goal do we simply think that is the finale we wanted and not even think to journey further?

Classics
Read
I have been gathering more classics onto my shelves and decided to make an a) what classics I have read and b) what classics I have read for the A Classic every Month Challenge I made for myself.
>Now the word of being a classic can vary depending on who says it. And it also varies what someone thinks is a classic so here is my take... And there a couple that I'll put into this list but do not necessarily classify as a full on classics.
Others:

Books I Loved as a Child
Top 11
From 1st to 6th grade we had this thing called Family Reading where we needed to read some amount of pages every week and write a report about it. I recently read through them and found some of my old favorite books. So I went ahead and googled them, after which I decided to list my top 11 (couldn't narrow it to 10) favorites for you guys here:
(Now yes Harry Potter is a fave from a long time ago, but these are from before that.)
Junie B. Jones Doctor De Soto Class Four's Wild Week
The Worst Witch Tales of Pixie Hollow Anything really by Roald Dahl
Half Magic Nelly the Monster Sitter Miss Fannie's Hat
And a Finnish fave: Ella ja Kaverit Ms. Wiz Spells Trouble
