Hi Betsy,

Thank you for the finale. I’m with Davina on my favorite saying (of Johns). I like John’s attitude of using our stuff and not saving it for ???.

This has been a fun series to follow. I had to laugh at the new language John learned. I also like how he referenced where he learned it. I find it interesting how in different parts of the country, people use different expressions. You know what I mean, eh?

Hi Betsy. Great words of wisdom: “It is better to use your stuff and break it than to keep it ready for another day.” Plus, if you use it and break it… you get to go shopping for more! Their trip sounds fabulous and I’m envious BUT appreciative of that RV.

Hi Barbara – Do tell about the mooses! I’ve seen you reference them on Twitter, too. And yes, ultimately, it’s a universal truth that there is a reason for everything. Thank you.

Hi Robin – Yes, it’s good to be reminded to break out of our circles, too. We can get so stuck before we realize, can’t we? Thank you.

Hi there Betsy – “we need to break out of our circles” – I’m all for breaking out of circles! (I’m hoping to break out of a few more of my own) I enjoyed John’s reflections – particularly the animals and sayings – people say “it’s all good” a lot here, too. – R

And my favorite – “Everything happens for a reason!”

Sounds like you had a grand time! I’m looking forward to such a trip for me and my family as well. Especially with mooses!

By golly, I am hoping I can pick up that much wisdom on our next big trip. Well written, fun to read but too much for early morning. I will come to consider later. I liked them all but I guess my favorite was: 1. Don’t get too comfortable, the “check engine” light just came on. .-= Pete´s last blog ..LESSONS FROM THE ROAD: IT’S ALL GOOD, EH =-.

Hi Kathy – These dispatches from John have been so illuminating. Now I’m aware and appreciative of parts of him that I never would have had the privilege of getting to know. No doubt he’d say the same about getting to know himself as a result of this trip, too.

Pete and I have often agreed this is the biggest benefit of traveling – you not only become more clear on your place in the world, but your place within yourself, and with each other. You’re right – this would make the genesis of a marvelous book. If I didn’t have another one to start at the moment, this would be it. Thank you.

Hi Mary – Yes, that one jumped right out at me, also. We busy ourselves and others make busy for us. It’s up to us to extract – AND confront – relevance and meaning from our activities and whom we devote our most time. And if we can’t, to let them go. Something I’ve made inroads with, but have a lot longer way to travel. Thanks.

Hi Chris – Welcome to PassingThru! Like Mary, you were struck by the part of John’s wonderful message on the need to keep it real. Knowing who you are, where you fit, and also, how what you’re doing promotes that in the highest. That would be the very best use of time, wouldn’t it? Thank you.

Thanks for this — I particularly liked “our daily activities are mostly a distraction.” It’s become important to me to check in with myself and notice whether I’m trying to take my attention off how I’m really feeling by puttering around doing this and that.
