Well, we are heading home on our cross country car trip. Along the way we had a wonderful visit with family, and one of the highlights was getting to see friends we hadn’t seen for twenty years. How can you tell if someone is a true friend? I believe one of the ways is you pick up right where you left off with them, even if its been decades since you last saw them.
Technology makes it easier to stay in touch these days, but there’s still nothing quite like giving your loved ones a big hug and sitting across a table laughing and joking and sharing old stories with them. Gives you a warm feeling inside. Feels like the world can’t be all that bad if these special people are still around, and still value your relationship.
I’m thankful for rich friendships and the path that led us to so many incredible folks. I’m also thankful for home sweet home. Traveling is fun and adventurous, but, to quote Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, there’s no place like home.
