Hasta Luego/Keep it Positive

My bags are packed, I'm ready to go.

Today, I fly home. If you see an airplane in the...well, not night...sky maybe say a wish that my travels go smoothly. (I really stretched on that song reference, didn't I?)

Spain, it's been real. I'm going to miss your churros and salmorejo and Euros and language and most of all some of your people. 'Til we meet again, yeah?

{This is a sketch I did of the view out my piso window. I am not an artist, but I really enjoyed doing this in a therapeutic can-do kind of way and I am keeping it as a momento. There are more colors but they light blue sky and some of the greens didn't really turn out in the photo.}

United States, here I come! Family, please don't get so lost in my nephew's sweet eyes that you forget to pick me up at the airport. ;)

Besos!

Edit: Well, I'm sitting at the airport. Unfortunately there's been a delay that might result in me missing my connection State-side. I've been pretty down, but I'm trying to pull it together. There's this little boy in the same general vicinity as me and he looks like he's having the time of his life. A minute ago I looked over and he just threw himself on the ground, flat on his back, in front of the moving sidewalk and started giggling like a fool. (Don't worry, there was no one coming so I doubt it was an ill-planned suicide attempt.) He bounced up moments later and skipped down the next moving sidewalk. He isn't worried about delays or missed flights; he's just happy. I don't know that I can get away with lying in front of a moving sidewalk, but I am going to try to keep it positive. I've got plenty of books and music to keep me entertained. I'll get home eventually. All will be well.
