To see beauty before us -- the raising sun over an ocean or the twinkle of evening lights within a small village as the sun sets - does not compare to the look of a child's eyes in yours when you've just handed them a cookie fresh out of the oven, LOL.

What does it all mean?

I have to admit: One of the main advantages I found on each journey was an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the every day world and reflect inside to find what matters most, to me, while viewing or taking part in some wonderment of our World.  Each time I set out on another adventure, I couldn't wait to leave -- couldn't wait to find out what new adventure was in store.  Each trip is extremely memorable, in it's own unique way -- but nothing is greater than the appreciation of coming home again.

Our greatest asset is Ourselves.  Our greatest Gift to give others is our true self.

Be Good to Yourself - But be Better to Others!
