How do people measure their life?  Do they have goals as they move through the years?  Growing up,  I always thought in twenty-year increments.  When I was twenty, I wondered what would I be doing at forty?  I always thought the road was always better than the inn as stated by the Spanish writer, Cervantes, which means a way of living.  When I was young,  I would think when this  goal is achieved – I will have reached my goal.  But, then realized as I reached each achievement, just like the inn, it was only a stopping point in the road of life.  The realization is that living is the goodness of the journey.  As I reflect on the past, the most important part is that I can look to the future with hope and desire.  And as I travel the highway of life, I take each inn not as a stopping point but a starting point for something new and challenging.
