I have found my way back to this place during my vacation, not just here virtually but in my mind as well. I miss it a great deal when the demands of the real world press things out of focus, and fill the minutes of each day with things I have to do instead of those I like to, that is not to meant in a miserable way. Like the good book says whatever you do, do so with all you might. No I try to take pleasure in whatever demands my time and attention at the moment. What I miss are the people, the clever quit wit and emotion, the sense of caring and support. The joy of living and holding each others hands as we wander this world that is so evident here from day to day. It is beautiful to see and I see it here like nowhere else. This place holds so much extraordinary beauty, some of it is obvious in the fantastic pictures we take and share with one another, but much of the beauty here cant be captured on film. It is inside the good folks here, the ones who seek to make things a little better for others with a kind word or just a smile. Those who laugh and cry together. Those who seek support here and find much more than they could have ever imagined. Those who argue in a manner that spurs consideration and thought outside ones normal frame of reference. Those who share funny amazing and interesting thoughts, pictures and music. There is much more beauty here than most casual observers imagine. Work and real life start again tomorrow, but I take with me a renewed faith in humanity and fresh perspective. I suppose that is what vacations are for, thanks to all you good folks out there for helping make this a fantastic week off. Have a great Sunday and week to come. Be well my friends
