The Rocky, Bumpy Road to getting "There"

I am thinking about another Leunig poem I use as a metaphor for my life.  It is called Getting there.  I have pasted it here for your enjoyment.  A little man sets off to "There" and it basically states that the only way to get there is to keep going as far as you can insinuating that there is no "There".  So I often think about this when I am thinking about goals I have and the "There's I want to experience and am reminded time and time again that there is no better then here and once you get there you are in fact here and here is all you have.  So you set a "There" goal.  One of mine at the moment is to get to 69kg before the end of this round.  Once I am at 69kg, I will sing and dance and let it all out but then I will go on and on.  Off to another There which may or not be another weight loss goal.  My point is I am reminded that I am perfect now and my here is just fine.  When I had the "There" goal to run a half marathon I have to say that it was the training and journey that was the most interesting, intriguing, fun, challenging and pooed all over the actual event.  I liked the fact that I did it and loved many moment of the hour and 56 minutes I bathed in as I pranced to my There but then it was over and I was like all "now what?".  I think my point is here that it really is important to enjoy the journey.  How does this refer to my goal to drink less wine?  As I battle to have yet another alcohol free night knowing that here would be so much better with a wine I need to stop for a moment I need to bathe myself in the great feelings I am having now. Well maybe I need to create a few because I am not totally sure things wouldn't be better if I had a drink.  nah, it wouldn't, I'd have lost the battle and allowed to succumb yet again to Boozy Brain.  I am better without it.  Will I ever get to a "There" where I will be free of the demon voice inside me begging to give it a drink?  I am not sure but for now, here I am basking in the glory of another alcohol free night, pondering and enjoying some personal freedom to reflect and enjoy that my Here is fabulous.  What's that kids??? Yeah sure I will get you some muffins and yoghurt.  Did you just hear a buzzer? My time "here" is over.
