Trotting the Globe

The past 10 days I have been trotting the globe, seeing many things I have never seen before. Through Asia and the Middle East I have flown, visiting customers that I represent at NetworkIP. I've eaten great food in scary restaurants, and fabulous food in 5 star restuarants. Living out of a hotel I've had room service, and sent out my laundry. In short, I have been living a far more extravagant lifestyle than I ever have before.

Today as I sit here, I have been pulling up some of my favorite blogs, about pets of course, and missing home. I miss my husband of course, I would not be me without him, and there is no one on earth who understands me like he does. However, as I laid down on the huge luxureous bed here at this hotel which is more fabulous than any I have visited in my life, it was not my husband I missed lying next to me at that very moment. I missed those small furry bodies that scratch and sniff attempting to find the best possible spot on the bed, then flop down and sigh in contentment because there is no place they would rather be. I miss their wagging tails greeting me every evening, and the joyousness of early morning when they jump out of bed excited for another day. They live everyday in the moment, which is a lesson I am still attempting to learn from them.

Today I will see some fabulous places and eat wonderful food, but I agree with Dorothy, "There's no place like home".
