Traveling far from home can mean different things to many people. For some, it’s an escape. Others cling to the rear-view mirror, never allowing new experiences to fully bloom.
Sometimes we don’t give ourselves permission to enjoy different moments in our lives – especially if they take place outside our comfort zone. Floating in the shadows of fear, those special moments remain stagnant, unlived.
My trip to New York was one of those times where excitement and adventure outweighed fear. A couple mild panic attacks aside, last week was amazing. Rather than pontificate in a lengthy post boring you with every detail, I will quickly list whatever words come to mind. You can fill in the blanks with your own imagination.

You are having such awesome experiences! New York is one of my very favorite places. I hope you're feeling all right and taking breathers between all of your stuff. What are a couple of 40 somethings like us doing reinventing ourselves, anyway??(Oh, yeah. Having the time of our lives!)

Great pics. I grew up in Jersey and visited the city a lot but seeing the pictures remind me of how much you can really see there. Glad your trip was a success.

I am interested in your idea of a Word List. It is perhaps almost more evocative that way and has inspired me. I think I would perhaps do it as a mind map…ideas ideas.Please check out my blog and follow:http://mshavisham.blogspot.comThe story of modern day Ms Havisham
