A Thought about Travel and Home

No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

That is so true, the smell of our favorite pillows.

Welcome back my friend. I have missed you a lot. I have missed the inspirational quotes, the flowers, the butterflies, the bees, and of course, you.

Now BLOG! Hahaha.

No matter where home is, it is still the best. I love to travel and I love to come home. Crazy!

When I got home from Macedonia in late April, that familiar pillow was so nice to say hello to! And it held my head while I wrestled with jet lag for a whole week! Welcome home, dear friend.

Welcome home! I hope Miss Cindy Lou fluffed your pillow for you :)
Going away is great but coming home is even greater...

Coming home after a trip is one of the greatest feelings. The welcome familiar place is back, and the wonderful thoughts and feelings of the trip are still in effect. You get the best of both worlds for a short time.

I do love to travel, but there is something so wonderful about sleeping in one's own bed with one's own pillow!
