Over 40 years ago before one of my parents cross country trips, I gave my Mom a little going away gift. It was a mini book with beautiful poetry. One of the quotes was “Anywhere you travel, anywhere you roam, there is no place like home.” That statement has always touched me deeply as it is so true. No matter what beautiful sites you see and wonderful people you interact with, there is nothing like the feeling of arriving home.
Life is a Journey….Enjoy the Journey!
During a move a couple years of ago, I was cleaning out and returning “stuff” that belong to family and friends that they left at my house for storage. I placed this stuffed toy in my car with the intention of taking it to a thrift store. As this belonged to my daughter was then going on 37, I thought I would ask if she wanted me to send the toy to her. Days turned into weeks, then into months. When I finally asked her what she wanted me to do with the toy, three months had passed and apparently I had become attached to my traveling buddy. My daughter said I could give the fish way, but she noted it was one of the first carnival toys my parents had purchased for her. Even if she had not said that, I do not think I would have placed the fish in someone else’s care! By this time, I had name the toy “Bubbles” and he had become a part of my many miles of traveling to and from work! There is no way Bubbles is going anywhere!
