All Good Things...

We've all heard it.

All good things must come to an end.

And as I sit here exhausted, sunburned and content, it's a most apt description regarding our vacation. Tomorrow we load up and head out: We'll wind our way back to the Midwest, toward home and our semblance of normalcy.

As ready as I am to return, I'm sad the trip, and all the excitement, is over. No more anticipation. But it's been an amazing week. We've visited family members from both my side and misterwrites'. We've seen sights and found adventure and, most importantly, been with people we love and filed away grand memories.

So I think I'll rephrase that old saying. Today I say All good things will live on, in memory, in mind.

How would you finish the sentence?

Whoa, I thought I was up late! LOL Just fixing to head to bed but saw your post.
I was going to e-mail and see if you felt better, but you sound perky. :-)
I've never heard that quote and have no clue how I'd finish it. Memories are precious though. I'm glad you had a great time and hope you all have a safe trip home!

All good things come and go, so other, maybe better things, can take their place.

All good things...must be cherished.

All good things involve Hugh Jackman and chocolate. ;)

...are available to those who seek. :)

Have a safe trip home, and Happy Easter to you and the bunnies.

I like the way you've rewritten it. Good things will always stay in our memories (especially with the help of pictures). Have a safe return trip!

Ooh, I like Turkey's answer. :)

All good things will not be ignored just because I think I don't deserve good things to happen to me...

...are smothered in chocolate.

Has it only been a week?

I like Erin's idea! Chocolate is always good. ;-)

Have a safe trip home.

All good things are stored deep in our hearts to be brought back out and treasured on another day.

So glad you had a good trip!

"All good things will live on, in memory, in mind." And in other parts of our lives. In kindnesses and joys we are prepared to share, that we might not have considered otherwise.

Lori - I like that thought, for sure.

Amy - Yes!

Melanie - Thanks! We're home safe and sound.

Kat - A very important lesson in that!

Woman - One cannot go wrong with chocolate.
And yep, just over a week. It seemed to drag on and on... which I think I've decided was a good thing? :)

Wendy - It was adjustment, to switch from "living online" to vacation. But it was grand!
