Although I really enjoy new people and experiences,
there are times when it is both easier and more comfortable to just relax and enjoy
familiar people and things.
Traveling for example, often has a time limit for most
of us. After a certain amount of time away, we just want to be home. In my
case, no matter how wonderful the place, people or scenery, it gets tiring to
be washing and wearing the same limited number of clothes and having to
communicate in another language each time I want a cup of coffee or direction.
Usually I recognize that it’s time to come home.
Many things in life are like this. It’s almost as if
too much of anything, becomes too much of a good thing and we just want to get
off at the next stop and take a break. I don’t think this is a bad thing.
Consciously recognizing what we like, and especially
what we need in life, lets us appreciate and enjoy the familiar things and
people that populate our lives and make it ‘home’ for us.
The security and comfort of the familiar lets us
recharge our batteries safely and easily. It enables us to get ready to look outward
again in the direction of our lives next new experience and adventure.
