Finding Baggage Claim 6

No one stands in the same river twice...  Sometimes I think it's meant to be that we lose details to time, beer and boxer shorts being exceptions.  Otherwise you'd get addicted to the memories, those feelings.

In the end though, nothing stays the same, nothing goes on forever, but if you're lucky, now and again,  you'll get a wink you'll never forget.  And if you're extremely lucky you'll get just what you wanted for your...

 We’re meant to miss some of the signs I think. Otherwise, we’d be frozen in fear, stuck in place, we couldn’t keep going.  We couldn’t enjoy the journey, or have a second cookie, or befriend flight attendants or rent cars or radio shows- also, I’d have way too many clothes. There’d be no scars or stories, no enchanting tales to tell.   It was all unplanned, and still, we found a place to land. (T...
