Day 3,520

Growth:

One of the reasons I most appreciate travel and old trips like I just took is the fresh insight I am able to bring back to normal life. Everything seems a little more clear, more simple, with that refreshed perspective.

Appreciation:

As one of my favorite quotes goes, “you haven’t been anywhere until you come back home.” Today was a reminder of how much I appreciate being home, being with family (in person or over the phone), and getting back to “real life” with the benefit of the insights and perspectives learned from the time away.

Presence:

Driving down a country road surrounded by old growth pine as the sun is rising, no other vehicles in either direction, and slowing to miss a porcupine waddling across the road. So chill, so calming.

Thanks!!!
