Basho’s quote, “Each day is a journey and the journey itself is home” is especially meaningful for me, as I divide my time between Seville, Spain and a small town in northern California.

Thanks to you, Frances Mayes and Basho.Karen McCannhttp://www.enjoylivingabroad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-48707979583050152852012-02-06T05:59:50.009-08:002012-02-06T05:59:50.009-08:00jackie, i loved this post - it really hit home for...jackie, i loved this post - it really hit home for me. thanks for the friendly carpe diem reminder. :) love from switzerland!samantha michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265165878105586963noreply@blogger.com
