Sometimes coming home can be so bittersweet. As we head north today, I am excited to be returning home. At the same time however, I hate to see our road trip adventure come to an end.
Yesterday we visited the Oklahoma City Cowboy Museum and a woman working in the gift shop asked us about our connection as we were shopping. When we told her that we were sisters and brother traveling across the country together, she laughed and said "Wow! I wouldn't cross the street with my brother." We all laughed but actually, I thought this was a pretty sad statement.
Today is Leap day meaning we have been gifted with an extra day with extra moments filled with opportunities. Take one of those moments today to do something extra for yourself. Whether you spend some extra time playing with your children, extra time hugging someone you love, or spend an extra moment calling your own brother or sister to say "hello"', it will be time well spent.
We have had a wonderful trip together and it has certainly rivaled the best of 1968, as I had predicted. Our faces have changed over the years (will post updated photo soon) but our love remains. I wish you the best of your extra moments today!
