The 3 Day Quote Challenge #3
“Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.”― Jack Kerouac
It’s the last day of my 3 Day Quote challenge, but it’s also Saturday, and we all know what that means. I’m sure lovely Annika won’t mind sharing me, just this once. I’ve found her some beautiful photographs of the Dunajec Gorge in Poland to say thank you.
The rules of the challenge :
- Thank the person who nominated you.
- Post a quote on 3 consecutive days.
- Share why this quote appeals so much to you.
- Nominate 3 different bloggers for each day.
I always loved the image of Jack Kerouac. The spontaneity of his writing, the freedom of life on the open road. I was desperate to be a part of it, to escape the everyday. Mostly it was in my imagination. I spent many, long years in an office. So today, whenever I get the chance, I’m out there. Never truly ‘On the Road’, but always aspiring.
My final nominees. Take part if you’d like, or if you have the time :
Lovely Gilly at Lucid Gypsy
Brian at Bushboy’s World
And Patti of Pilotfish
If you’ve not been nominated and are itching to give this a go, please do. Not all of the nominees are able to take part. And please don’t forget your Six Words for Debbie.

Absolutely, I want to forget my long office years as soon as I can. I’d love to go on some long train journeys as I’m too old to go hitch hiking. Always to warm places of course. Dunajec looks stunning, it can’t be easy to get around Poland without speaking the language though.

That’s brilliant, Patti! I didn’t know if you’d have the time as you normally only post weekly. Many thanks to you! 🙂 🙂
