The Traveling Bag

It's been awhile since I've written because I have been traveling. During this time, the people that I met on this trip were amazing.  We all connected on so many levels that there were many tearful good-byes as each person bid adieu. One of the guests brought down her extra daily necessities....like toothpaste, powder and shampoo. She put it in a shopping bag and offered it to my friend and I before she left.  We had just run out of toothpaste and were leaving in 2 days...so we thought why not. 

Two days later we added to the goodies and passed it to another guest.  She needed body lotion for she only had 3 more days of vacation, and that's one of the things we had just added to the bag.

It was interesting because none of us wanted to leave.  In fact, a few extended their vacations by a couple of days...Rather than the uncomfortable thought of saying good-bye to new friends, we kept ourselves alive with the "Adventures of the Traveling Necessity Bag."


Getting Back to Work
 To date, I do not know where the bag is....or who has possession of it.  But it is comforting to know that when someone looks into it, they see a bit of each of us.

Stay tuned...a lot happening.
