Wanderlust....

So today I said goodbye to my Baby Jake before he jets off into his new Ayers Rock Adventure!

Of course this time it was me leaving him as I was flying off to Hamilton Island with my friend Karen to spend five nights there for New Years Eve. But more on that in the next few days....

So before I left this morning I had to say my goodbyes and I did try to be brave. There were of course a few tears... but Groover's Jake has always been a cry baby so what can I say! LOL

A few weeks ago, after I knew that Jake would be leaving I was at home watching the television show "Men in Trees" and at the end of the show, Anne Heche's words rang very true in my ears and so tonight I would like to share those few words with you....

Humans are born with the desire to roam the earth. We crawl, walk and run to move further away from where we came from... from home!

I know first hand the thrill of what changing ones surroundings can do for ones heart. And now I also know that sometimes staying home and letting others go, can be it's own fantastic journey....

Because when you let go of something, you make room for something else entirely! Something you never expected, something that makes home seem like it's own unexpected adventure!

A trip where new treasures are found around every old corner. Where the world and all it's complexities come right to your doorstep.

Because in the end the power is not just with those that go away.... but also in what they leave behind.
