Coming Full Circle

After all the presidents day festivities I jumped in the Matrix and headed back to San Diego. This morning I woke up to warm sunshine and headed to the backyard. I picked and orange off our tree and ate it in the sun. Life is good!

I should have spent the day unpacking but it was way too nice outside so I headed to the beach. It is so good to be back here. I feel really good about it. Besides how amazing it is here, it will be nice to catch up with old friends and to make new ones.

I am so grateful that I got to go to London. I had incredible experiences, learned a ton, met amazing people and got to see some incredible parts of the world. I feel like I learned a lot about myself as well.

Here are some of the things I am taking away from my time abroad:

-Family is extremely important to me and being near them makes me happy.

-The world is full of best friends just waiting for the right opportunity to be discovered.

-I like sunshine!

-My "list" will only get longer the more I travel.

-A good book can be great company.

-The "pride cycle" is real and very easy to fall into.

-Be grateful for freedom - it's something we take for granted but that people through the ages have spent and given their lives fighting for.

-Seeing something amazing ( i.e. the Berlin wall) can be just as cool as meeting someone famous.

-One of the great parts of traveling is coming home.
