Very simple, I learned to appreciate my own surroundings more than ever. I learned to stop and really appreciate my husband, family and friends more. Yes, travel is incredible, it teaches us, it opens our eyes to the good and bad in the world, but especially the illustrious beauty we have around us.
I was reminded that people are just people, no matter where we are. But, when it all comes down to it, it is my family and friends and my day to day experiences that bring the richness into my life that are important.
I am grateful.
