Unexpected Beauty

Today I went to the airport to pick something up that someone left on the plane.

As we were driving in to the airport.....the landscape was amazing, the mountains were towering over us, the sunlight was shining and making everything shiny, and the wind was blowing, and oh man, it was so beautiful.

We walked into the airport, the wind was blowing my hair making me look like a spy off on a secret mission. ;) And I had this huge grin on my face. I stumbled around on the flat escalators while giggling because I just don't get these things. ;)

I saw all the people lugging around their suitcases, off on their way to somewhere great. Some people had accents and some were rushing off to something important. Some were casually going about life. All while I had my huge grin painted on my face.

I loved it. I kept thinking to myself. "You've got twenty bucks in your pocket. Turn it into two thousand bucks. Book a flight and just go. Oh man, please just let me go. This is so beautiful. I probably look suspicious stumbling around like the klutz I am, and smiling like an idiot. Oh this is so awesome. I want to go on an adventure. Right now." I know. I think a lot.

People just don't understand. I told my mom when I was telling her about my trip to the mall and temple and such and I told her my favorite part was going to the airport. Her response? "The....airport?" Me: Yes mom. It was just SO beautiful. I need to travel. I need to travel right now. SOoooo bad." Mom: Well then save your money." She was obviously still in shock over my new found love of the airport. I then told my dad. Me: "Dad guess what! I went to the airport, it was SO beautiful " Dad *really confused look, probably thinking, "what are you on??"* What?...the airport?" Me: "Yes. It was so amazing." and meanwhile my sister is saying, "Yeah Dad, she's in love with the airport." Dad: "Okaaaay."

I know what you're thinking. That I'm crazy. But I am. All the best people are.

Allow me to shed some light on the subject......I have the NEED to travel and experience the world. It's like a chained, hungry beast inside of me that feeds off adventure. Going to the airport and seeing all those people off to their adventures, oh it made me so happy. The whole thing just put one big smile on my face.

You may not see the beauty in and airport. But I do. An airport connects one place to hundreds of other places in the world. There is so much potential and awesomeness there. Just think of all the stories that have gone on there, the people who have come back from epic adventures, all the adventure that it CAN take you on. I see the beauty in things that most people don't. Beauty is everywhere. All you have to do is open your eyes and see it.

Okay I'm done now. You can now go think about butterflies and fairies and eat chocolate to recover from this weirdness.

Love life. Embrace it. See the beauty. Smile. Be happy. Be you!
