The Airport Shuffle

Sunshine State. I am sitting in the airport looking out at a line of palm trees and planes taxing in and out of the gates... it is simply mesmerizing.

I used to think I was magical. When I was little I was convinced that I could twinkle my nose and anything I desired would come true. I say I was convinced of this, because even though my nose twinkle did not work, I felt like practice made perfect and one day with this dream like attitude I would be successful. Who's to say I was wrong? 

I had a really busy week down here in Florida. I traveled between many places and saw lots of people, so really not much time was spent at the pool... which is ok. I went today and sat for about an hour and enjoyed it but knew it was time to get back to the house and get ready to head out to the airport. Among highlights were surely the people and conversation. I felt so blessed by my weekend in Ponte Vedra and my sweet friendship with Linda, and then to see Katie and Sanne--and enjoying a night of peace and quiet alone in Orlando was a treasure. My mom, my aunt, and sister were also great to see and I felt like I got some quality time with each of them. I enjoyed Jessica and Lee, and am delighted to hear that they are moving to the Atlanta area next Feb.! Yay, a car drive away! 

All in all, I came, I saw, I conquered, and now I am leaving. I return home tonight at 10pm, and will be in bed a couple of short hours later. I could not be more thrilled about that. Tomorrow is Sunday and I purposely planned my return on this weekend so that I could see Theresa on one of her days off, go to church with the crew, and enjoy a typical fun Sunday at home. I have misc. errands scheduled for the week ahead and I'm kind of excited about the normalcy.

If I could have a super human power I think I would want to experience super rapid time travel, or at least the ability to magically appear anywhere I so desire. Either of these would be great right now b/c I could go to the future and already be home, or I could just close my eyes, click my heels and appear in my living room. I am now in the Atlanta airport waiting for 8:00pm when I can get on the flight to Richmond. Then I arrive in Virginia and make the 2 hour trek to Lexington, which actually isn't all that bad considering its 2 hours in the car. 

So lots of thoughts about family, visits, and the future as I sit here people watching, Facebook stalking, and thinking of my trip in Florida. If you could have a super human power what would it be? Would you use it for good or for selfish ambition?
