Squandrous

Just got to airport; I’m heading back to Washington DC after a busy, intense, but fun trip to Australia. At so many times during this trip, it felt as though my heart was full of butterflies: when I reunited with some old friends, when I delivered my keynote address, when I got a lovely email about a Thanksgiving visit, when I got to see a play at the Opera House, when I explored Sydney, when I was just able to sit on the edge of the Pacific Ocean and soak in the beauty around me.

I’m sad to go, but I’m leaving this country with a smile on my face and many wonderful memories. Traveling with butterflies on my mind and with happiness in my heart.
