Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for March 8, 2016. 

It’s by Kenneth Grahame, a Scottish author of children’s books.  He lived from 1859 to 1932. 

“Glorious, stirring sight!  The poetry of motion! The real way to travel! The only way to travel! Here today - in next week tomorrow! Villages skipped, towns and cities jumped - always somebody else's horizons! O bliss! O poop-poop! O my! O my!”

So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine:

“Well, this sounds mildly insane, but why not.  Completely serendipitous and no worries, only total rapture and unbridled enthusiasm, albeit a tad bit out of control.  Sounds like a great travel partner; very upbeat and thrilled beyond measure by everything encountered or anticipated.  Never a dull moment or a down day here.  It’s the rolling donut personified, a case of pent-up demand unleashed!  Sounds like he has an unlimited rail pass or perhaps a new motorcycle.  So make way everybody; he’s coming through!

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in March.  I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  And leave a comment.  I’d like to hear your thoughts too.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
