One, two, pandemonium...
Thank you for the day and night, for rainy spells and summer’s light. Thank you for the skies of blue and puffy clouds in grayish hue. Thank you for the gigglefests and midnight’s cloak to hasten rest. Thank you for tomorrow new and yesterday’s tomorrow too. Thank you for "I'm glad we met" and also for "we haven't yet." Thank you for the peace of mind a grateful soul doth always find.
Here's the thing - honey doesn't really taste that good once you get around to eat it. The destination doesn't mean so much once it's reached. The reward only feels rewarding until you get it. Once it's given, we're already thinking about the next. If we add up all the different things we've gotten in life, it wouldn't add to much. But if we add up the spaces between the rewards, we'll come up with quite a bit. And if we add up the rewards and the spaces, then we'll have everything - every minute of the time that we spent.
