Life of Pride
Monday, June 23, 2008
Long day - twelve hours of driving. Another one tomorrow. Then Lil and I will be at the Grand Canyon. I can't imagine what it will look like or be like. I haven't ever really been out West, except for when we drove to Cali three years ago for big bro's wedding.
Nothing like a personal adventure thousands of miles away from work to put life into perspective.
Also, I had known that a large portion of my love language is tied up in touch, but I guess I had forgotten. I spent five days with family, and I found myself hugging or patting siblings and parents every time I saw them. I was so, so lonely these last months, but for now that terrible sensation has faded away.
One more week, and then back to work. I think I will be ready for routine by then, but for now it is wonderful to wander.

What a wonderful answer to our prayers for you last Thursday,PTL. Hope you come home with awesome memories. :-)
Yay! I've been to CA a few times, but always flew. I've never been through the west inbetween here and there (never been driving west of big river).
Oh, and I could definitely see "touch" as a high one for you. I think my highest might be "acts of service," with "gifts" and "words of encouragement" falling somewhere up there.
