Hello my friends! I hope you’re having the most lovely weekend! We’ve gotten the extra day we all need deep down in our hearts and I hope you’re celebrating today with a good sleep-in and a lazy day ahead.
I’ve had some plane travel in my recent past and lots more in my near future. This view is common to me. It carries a plethora of emotions with it: excitement, sadness, loneliness, togetherness, oh-crap-we’re-actually-flying-ness, where am I going again? Do I have my car keys / Did I lose my car keys? / Did I drive to the airport?. I love the travel. I relish the excitement and can carry the loneliness. Half the time I’m in an airplane seat, sunglasses on, crying about something or other because I almost ALWAYS cry on a plane. There’s a reason, aparently my parasympathetic nervous system is just veeery sympathetic. See: Why We Cry On Planes.
Those are just some truthy truths of mine. I feel like you get it.
Let’s enjoy this beautiful day of ours! Here’s some Internet reading for your lazy day pleasure:

Happy day to you.
