I didn’t want to go out last night because walking everywhere all the time in a crowded city is exhausting for this introvert who is overstimulated by the outside world. Lately I’ve been longing to hop in my car and drive a few miles, quietly, to get to a large, familiar, not overwhelming store or place. Or even better - I’d love to just walk outside to my grassy backyard and just breathe fresh air without having to take a dirty metro 25 min away and share that fresh air with thousands of other people! But it was free museum night so I allowed Whit to drag me out. It was a colder than I was happy about and my shoes still aren’t broken in so I got a blister. BUT we saw the worlds largest collection of Picassos and it was only a 17 minute walk from our apartment. The older I get and more I travel the more I learn that there’s no place that will satisfy all my needs, no place I could be without wishing a few things were different. Nowhere is perfect, because we were made for an eternal home with God. One day we will be completely satisfied, with every little thing our hearts desire! For now, I’m trying to appreciate the pros despite the cons. And, taking advantage of the bus system when I can’t bear to walk home. 😉
