On the Road Again and Again

Granted, I didn't get much sleep last night - my body language and poofy eyes clearly showed my fatigue more than usual this morning. I looked around at the waiting area for my flight at all the weary business travelers who spend the majority of their working week either on a plane or at a meeting away from their home and their families.

We all must go through an initial period of jetsetting business travel when it feels adventurous and fun to stay in different hotels all over the country as we wheel our carry-on and laptop cases through one airport to another, but after some time, the "honeymoon" phase wears off and all we want to do is be home - that hit me hard a little over a year ago. So, now when I travel for work, I procrastinate on packing and you have to drag me to the waiting airport shuttle.

I'm trying to look at it all with new eyes as I remind myself that not everyone has the opportunity to travel for "free" on business and not everyone has seen the beauty of the U.S. as I have seen. I continue to adjust my vision.
