I appreciate this so much. My husband and I make a point to take a vacation, some time, each year where we travel to a new and unknown place with no plans, hotels, places to stay, etc. We travel through the area getting to know the local people in those places. Through the connections with people while we are traveling, we find ourselves drawn to one place or another and stay where we find the strongest connections. We spend time with the people we meet. We enjoy the local food, the local attractions but most of all the local people. They are our best times away and are completely intent on simply connecting with others around us. We meet WONDERFUL people each trip and both return home with a greater sense of calm and connectedness. This particular note put a smile on my face just remembering how amazing it is to wander, to simply be and to simply connect.
