The Journey

Today a couple traveling through by motorcycle stopped at Coco's for some coffee.  They were a retired couple from Minnesota.  They went up to Ontario, over to New York, down the East Coast.  Making their way back home via Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.  Today is their 14th day of the trip.  I asked what route they are on.  They said they do not even know.  They set their GPS to their destination for the day and just drive.  No interstates are used.  Sounds great, except the motorcycle part.
They complimented me on the shop.  Asked how long I had been open.  I told them the story.  A shortened version of the story.  They loved it.  They are city people.  They were surprised that there are not retail stores in our little town.  We had a nice visit.
After they left I put together the similarities of our situations.  They are on a physical journey.  I am on a journey too.  I took a detour from my original destination.  I am sure they do the same thing.  If they see something they want to look at, they stop and spend time.  I told them about a few sights to see in town.  They were going to check them out.
Once again I was hit with the saying I have heard and read many times, Life is About The Journey, Not The Destination.  I finally get it!
