RE: Haveyoubeenhere 2019 Steemitworldmap Travel Contest - my best memories
While not on our Steem blockchain as much as I used to be @delishtreats, I have invested some time here in the last couple of days, due to this same contest. Great minds think alike! Hahaha … 😉
I would love someday to see some of what you have captured and described so well.
This stood out to me, amongst the awesome tulip pictures, …
”And I once more came to the realization that it's the small things that matter and that you don't need much to have a good day."
… as this really expresses what is very important to me, at this stage of my long life. The small things. The simple things …
Of course, as an outdoors guy at heart …
”Mountains give me the feeling of freedom and at the same time I feel grounded there."
”When I'm above the clouds I realize how small I am and that I am lucky to be alive, lucky to have the opportunity to experience such beauty and share it with the world. Mountains make me feel grateful for everything I have and make me want to help those who are not as fortunate as I am. I can't imagine living in a country without mountains, it would feel like a part of me would be missing.”
… I loved this as well. For this one, I am far more drawn to these views of what I believe our Creator has made than being in the middle of a big city that man has made. No comparison … To underscore how strongly I feel about this, I took great pains, in my trip a year ago, to avoid these places … 😉
Great to see you can share many of these experiences with your lifemate. That makes it all the better.
Until “next time,” all the best to you, my friend, for a great 2020!
I'm not around that much either. I do try to post regularly but I don't spend any time commenting or engaging as I was in Slovakia with my family for 3 days, so I tried to spend more quality time with them. We are now at the airport waiting for our flight and I can't wait to be back in Switzerland. 3 weeks is such a long time and I need my routine back..
You should really come to Europe! And plan it for spring as it's the nicest time here :)
I wish that more people understood that it's the small things.. I think that it would be much nicer to live in this world...
I know that you enjoy nature as much as I do. And I agree with you. We should spend less time in the middle of a big city..
I will check your entry probably tomorrow, or as soon as I have a little more time online.
Until next time, my dear friend! All the best to you and your family too!
Okay @delishtreats ...
... if you promise to be my guide! 😉
Seriously, visiting places like your hometown are what would appeal the most to me. I loved your description of it and I am sure I would enjoy visiting it and experiencing firsthand what you have written about it.
In my posts, I write about places "on the road less traveled", as these have always appealed to me.
Hope you are enjoying being safely back home. You sound like me in that I really enjoyed my trip, but know that I am not a nomad at heart. I enjoy and am very much at peace with my simple life at home ...
I would definitely be your guide :)
I also enjoy visiting 'normal' places instead of the impersonal ones. Places where I know people and can connect with it much better and easier. It is always good to have a local guide :)
I will check out your posts as I haven't done it for such a long time!
Yes, thank you! I enjoy it very much. I do love traveling but being with my family is exhausting :) Don't know about your family, though :)
Haha @delishtreats, got a big smile out of me my dear friend, with this ...
... as I can imagine most of us have our version more or less of the same thoughts about our families. 😘
Here in America, we have a saying which covers this:
😏 We all, I'm sure, have our individual ways of dealing with this paradox.
Overall, I try to be thankful for mine and accept them as they are, no matter what. Good intentions, but some days are better than others, as far as how successfully I live them out ... 😉
