With airport security lines, rising fuel costs, and increasing travel inconveniences, it takes real determination to enjoy the journey.
Many travelers are frustrated and angry by the circumstances and restrictions of travel today because they forgot to bring the most essential carry-on: a smile!
Travel is only enjoyable when we purpose in our heart to enjoy whatever happens.
Beyond the oversimplified hooey of positive thinking, there is an attitude that reflects a genuine gratitude just to be alive. And then to have the opportunity or the health or the finances to move around at all should be a great source of thanksgiving for anyone.
Travel is great because we get to do it. That should be enough.
No matter how often or how far we travel, there is nothing more important to take along than the smile which reflects an attitude that appreciates life, people, God's creation, and the freedom to be on the move.
Let's try smiling as we travel. People will be as happy to see us stay as they are when we go. We might even amuse ourselves in the process! Simply, smile!
