So here's something I do...travel for my job. I'm in an airplane a lot, and one of the things I like to do is look at the ground as we approach to land. The perspective from an airplane window is great because you get to see so much land at once. I try to take a minute to be grateful for the country in which I get to live. It works!
Here's my "perfect storm" that happened today:
I'm in Arizona because of my job. Today is Veterans Day. I had a break. I decided to go to Sedona from Surprise (yep!! That's the real name, isn't that great?!) via some back roads and it was beautiful. Just amazing ~ Arizona has desert and mountains and vistas that include pine trees AND red rock formations...I guess I hadn't really put all of that together. And even though it wasn't from the sky, I was able to once again be grateful for the land in which I get to live.
...also, I found a rock that someone had painted to look like a frog. THAT'S a good sign, for sure!
What is curious to me is that I seem to have to be travelling in order to have this sort of reflection. Why is that? I suppose you get used to what you have around you every day...I'm going to try to recognized the same level of appreciation when I'm at home.
It also happens with the people in my life. It's been brought to my attention that my tribe sees more of me when I'm travelling more frequently because I make an effort to see them when I AM home. This is a good thing for when I'm out of town, and there's no reason it should change when I'm at home for a bit.
Phrases I think should go away:
"I'm not sayin'..." well then don't.
"I know, right??!" It's just...enough already. Right??!
G'night folks.
