It's The Journey That Counts!
Life's journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Wow! What a ride!"

Weekly Quotes
​● "What comes to your mind when you think of the word Transylvania, if you ponder it at all? What comes to my mind are mountains of savage beauty, ancient castles, werewolves, and witches - a land of magical obscurity. How, in short, am I to believe I will still be in Europe, on entering such a realm? I shall let you know if it's Europe or fairyland, when I get there. First, Snagov - I set out tomorrow.”
~ Elizabeth Kostova (The Historian)

● “Siblings: children of the same parents, each of whom is perfectly normal until they get together.”
~ Sam Levenson

New Dictionary Words 2020
● iatrophobia = intense fear of
   doctors.
● nosocomephobia = intense
   fear of hospitals.
● tomophobia = intense fear of
   surgery.
These first three tells a lot about our society today. So sad.

● truthiness = seemingly truth-
   ful quality not supported by
   facts or evidence.
● univerbation = the process by which a fixed collocation of words becomes a single word, in the way that goodbye evolved from “God be with you,”and
albeit derived from “although it be.” The aforementioned slow-walk is an example of this.
