22/365 - Home

I suppose it seems odd that someone anxious about flying would prefer the window seat, but looking out into the bright blue forever above a sea of clouds brings me a measure of peace when I'm 25,000 feet up and feeling alone. Sometimes, it helps to know someone on earth is thinking of me while I'm up there....If I close my eyes and breathe deeply enough, it seems as if there is only a very thin veil of light separating us. The in-flight wi-fi certainly contributes to that feeling of connection too.

I was a bit more anxious on this return flight than I was heading out. It could've been my eagerness to get home, could've be the larger airplane and delayed departure because of so many passengers, could've be too much coffee right before the flight, could've been the turbulence most of the way, could've been the screaming kids.....likely all of the above. All I can say now is that I'm relieved to finally be home safe with my babies tucked upstairs in their beds, their lingering sweet kisses and "I love you's" slowly washing away the stress of getting home to them.
