"Endurance is more than pacing up and down within the cell of our circumstance;
it is not only acceptance of the things allotted to us, it is...magnifying what is allotted to us."

Wednesday's Word -- Embarkation

The day has finally arrived.  By the time you read this, we will be engaged in vacation embarkation as we start our Disney cruise in the Mediterranean.  So here's a quick note about the word "embark."  

Embark means "to set out on a venture; commence."  More specifically, it tends to mean "to go aboard a vessel or aircraft, as at the start of a journey."  The word comes from the Latin in + barca (meaning boat).

Here's to the start of a new journey.  I'll be taking a break from my normal blogging schedule over the next few weeks while we travel, but I will likely post photos and thoughts here about what we see and learn.  It'll be an adventure.

Have a wonderful day!
