One can learn some important things while traveling.

A walk through the woods, a flight, a short visit to a movie theater, or a 15-hour drive.  All travels. All have lessons.

I know that life is filled with many blessings.   Friends… our closet friends… are golden.  That is one lesson.

There are bumps in life.  It is okay to stumble on those bumps.  Just don’t fall down… to a place so low that  you can’t get up.  That is another.

Find joy in the little things.  They are really big things.

Tell that person you love… just how much they mean to you.

Life can change on a dime.  Yet another lesson.

Be grateful for the beautiful things around you.  There are lots of beautiful things around you.
