I suppose there is a little gypsy in all of us? Why do I think I need to travel to experience joy over where God has planted me? Oh, to take a trip somewhere…how grand that would be, I find myself thinking.
But this past week-end re-opened my eyes. My daughter’s baby shower was held here at my house. Hosted by my long-time best friend and her most capable, energetic daughter. How precious and dear it was. The room was full of so much love I could hardly contain it.
Where could I ever find a place to replace that joy, love and caring that came from these lovely ladies? There is no place I could go to replace these moments in life. My heart is full. Glory!

There’s not a trip anywhere that could beat the love of family and friends.
I totally agree, Judy. ❤️

Home + Travel = Joy! I’m glad you saw the gratitude opportunity in being at home for such a lovely event! Our son still sleeps with his baby knitted blankets at age 17 years!
Rather have what I have got
here, ‘stead of some imagined days,
for the blissful fantasy cannot
overcome the simple ways
that I get from dawn to noon,
beery to tamp down the pain,
and then red wine will greet the moon,
and sake helps me start again
to realize there is no answer
to that stark and fell suggestion
that to deal with fatal cancer,
learning how to frame the question
of to be and not to be
embracing my mortality.
Very heartfelt and lovely, Andrew.
