#Reverb10 is a blogging initiative that provides prompts each day of the 31 days of December with the intent of reflecting on the past year, specifically 2010, and looking forward to what’s to come in the year ahead.
The Prompt(s)
How did you travel in 2010? How and/or where would you like to travel next year?
I hadn't had a vacation, a real and true vacation since I graduated from college. Life was spinning so fast that I could never seem to stop and take in some rest and relaxation... that is until this past summer. I was so young when my family used to go to the beach that I didn't have any memories of it, well except for drinking the ocean water... it's funny the little bits of memories we have from our infant and early toddler years.
So in late May of this year, I went down to Chincoteague, Virginia with good company...picked seashells from the shore, felt the sand between my toes and the wind in my face... got a really bad sun burn on my shoulders and watched some of the most breath-taking sunsets. It was a birdwatcher's paradise and was just what I needed after an incredibly long bump in the road.
Next year a trip a little further from home is in the works. I will be traveling to the other side of the country to spend time with someone who I miss terribly. You know that saying, "you don't know what you have until it's gone"? Well I like to think I knew what I had (and still have) in her...she has changed titles a couple of times... she was, once upon a time, my boss and now she's my confidant and my friend. I am so excited that I get to see her again next spring!
You can take pictures with friends and the places you've been together, but how they touch your life and your heart cannot be captured in a photograph. And you can still carry them with you always.
