Today, I'm looking at the Denver airport. There's a pleasant chill in the air, which says fall will be long gone and it'll be snow all over when I come back from my trip. I think I'm going to love this winter. For some reason, the chill in the air is kinda encouraging.
As I speak, or write I should say, I'm 12 hours away from the most travelled vacation in my life - 5 countries in 20 days.
There is an unseen calmness in me right now. I have a lot going on, yet I feel as though I have so much of time - to think, to read and to reflect.
I'm sure that the trip is going to be a great food experience, but I'm more keen to meet the people - the locals, and my family. A family who I've been running away from, starting and finishing everything else in life...a family who I haven't listened to, for over a year.
I am excited, knowing I'll be with them in a few hours. I don't know if my dad's hair has greyed out more or not, whether my sister has grown up to be a top notch management executive or not.
I have changed over the last couple of years - one significantly changed quality is how I've dealt with people in these years. I used to be the guy to speak to, the guy who'd talk his way into, and out of many things...today, I hate even picking up calls. Also, over the years, I've kinda lost the feeling of doing right and being right in a day. Now, all I think about is making it thru the day, nothing else.
I guess I know I'm changing lives again. And that's sinking in. And all of a sudden, everything starts looking beautiful again. You just remember the beginning...and the end. And somehow, whatever happened in between, doesn't matter anymore.
