Traveling and Reflecting

I have found in my time away from home and loved ones that I will think of some folks a lot in a short amount of time and am now taking that to be an indication of a few things:
1. I miss that person
2. I am partaking of an activity with which I associate that person and/or I think that person would enjoy said event
3. I am trying to learn/grow in a way that person would appreciate/support/challenge
4. I am missing something in my life that said person contributes/encourages

In my travels I thought lots of different folks, but always very precious and loving thoughts. I am so fortunate! My most frequent thought was of my grandmother and of my dad because they encouraged me to utilize the encyclopedia from an early age. And those research skills come in handy when traveling, especially when I know only a handful of words in the common language.
