Home, Happy, Grateful

Best traveling companions I know!

After my third round of travels in three months, I’ve come home. I feel that so deeply—I’ve come home.

It’s been twelve years since I became a mom and more than that since I’ve been away from my daily life as much as I have recently. The new perspective has taught me—is teaching me (I process slowly)!—many things.

Right now, I’m profoundly grateful for so much that I can’t turn around without being thankful!

I deeply appreciate

-my freedom to travel

-this amazing country—even seeing a bit of it filled me with new experiences!

-my friends and family

-inspiration

-hotel pools

-my roots

-the infinite variety of human beings

-summer produce

-laughter

-intellectual puzzles

-running

-tradition

-seeing childhood places through my children’s eyes

-exploration

-growth

-finding a good mechanic

-driving Green Car again

-fresh eyes seeing solutions where there used to be problems

-our amazing public schools

-my puppy

-our home

And this is just a partial list! We have amazing people in our lives, family and friends, who made our travels so rich. Home is where the heart is; I'm glad our hearts expanded on our journeys with you all this summer!

My favorite pun of the trip: "Hello from the otter slide!"

Adventures with friends.

Our camp home.

Travelin' on....

Home again! Doing what, I won't guess. But home.
