Up, Up, and Away!

I really should have applied for a frequent flyers card many moons ago. I feel like I fly so often, but maybe a few times a year isn't often enough. I love traveling, and last night, I got to see this:


As I sat and stared at the plane's wing and sunset beyond I thought to myself how strange and fascinating that the world is turning while I sit above it. And what a miracle it is, this machine I was sitting in, traveling thousands of miles above ground, at a ridiculous speed. And planes are old news! Yet, I'm stunned by it every time I fly.

Being home the last five days was so great. I'm so happy I got to see friends and family, both in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. I am truly blessed. It dawned on me, too, how loved and appreciated I am. And because I'm away, I feel that much more adored. I have hope to move back home after I'm through here in New York, but then I wonder if I'll just be another face in the crowd, and no one will care that I'm around! This has me worried.
