Here is the Question: Is it the journey or the destination? For me? I think I am a journey person. I think sometimes I would like to be a destination person. "It will all work out in the end." But really- I am just not like that. I always totally internalize everything, I enjoy every fun thing, I cry over every bad thing, and the stress can make me pull out my hair. I like to learn things the HARD way and am grateful for the lessons learned.
An example? hmmm... ok- The night before Dave and I went to the temple the first time- We had this HUGE fight. I was so mad- I packed my car and drove away. NO WAY was I going to commit myself to him FOREVER in the morning! I couldn't even remember why we had fought (still can't) and knew that the adversary did not want us to be happy, to stay together, he wanted fighting and contention and bitterness. I turned my car around, where Dave was waiting. We both knew the fight was nothing- and he too could not remember what it was about- we went to bed- and the next day was one of the happiest days of our lives! ( I was pooped out tho- I was 7 months pregnant.)
My point? I learned life lessons that night- and yes the destination was our forever family- but I am GRATEFUL for the lessons along the way.
So which type of person are you? A journey or destination person.... tell me tell me! and why??? (hey you blog stalkers can join in too! I like everyone!)
*this is a picture if Timm- sleeping to the destination!

Hey Gabe, I had to read that twice...I thought you were 7 months pregnant...oooops.
I'm a journey person. The journey through life, both physical, spiritual, and Intellectually, is WHERE IT'S AT. I love the spontaneous, unpredictable, joyous surpizes in life...deffinately it's THE JOURNEY!!!
I'm all about destination...will this really make any difference in the long term or the eternal consequences??? I wish I could enjoy the journey a bit more, it sounds like it might be fun! Derrick is completely the opposite, totally a destination person. Makes communication difficult sometimes, but we try to keep eachother balanced, and besides that...I'm always right (it took a few years, but I think he finally knows that).
I'm a stalker and have only commented once or something. But I thought this was interesting and made me think for a second! I didn't have to think long cuz I KNOW I'm a destination person! I'm always thinking about when something will happen then it will be better. I need to enjoy the journey!
I think I am both. I love the journey and I try to make the journey as memorable as possible in hopes that the destination will be just as wonderful. Haven't always been this way, but am glad I am now!
its interesting- I wish I could poll everyone on this topic- I love the study of people.
I am a Final Destination person that is finally enjoying the Journey. Faithfully the Big wheel in the sky keeps on turning.
