Lessons Learned

I've learned a few lessons while in Europe or at least relearned them in some cases.
Lesson #1 - I really love my family. I miss being with my husband and kids. We might drive each other crazy at times, but isn't that what families are for?
Lesson #2 - I'm not the best traveler. While I enjoy visiting other places and seeing the sites, it makes me slightly nervous and uneasy. This trip was well worth the uneasiness though. I really have had a super time.
Lesson #3 - The best times don't take money or at least much money. My favorite activities on my trip haven't cost a great deal. I've really just enjoyed walking around and seeing the sites. I've also enjoyed the conversations April and I've had over a meal or drink.
Lesson #4 - More isn't necessarily better. We arriving in England, it stuck me how compact things are here. The cars, houses, streets are all very small. In America, we tend to think more is better, but is it? April and I went to see Confessions of a Shopaholic this evening and the moral of the story fit this lesson well. More doesn't make you happy. Relationships and giving of yourself make one happy. More sometimes just squashes happiness.

Anyhow, I've enjoyed my time, but I'm ready to go home and I'm sure April is ready to go back to normal also. Please pray that I have a safe trip home and I will also be praying for the handful of people that have humored me in reading this. May God bless you today, tomorrow and always.

Much Love,
Jennifer
