We have heard sayings similar to “Each day offers a new start” but we seldom feel it is true. Our daily routines make us think otherwise. But a day away from home can make such sayings, no matter how cliched, resound with meaning. Each day will invariably offer new and different sights, new and different encounters. We find ourselves in unfamiliar circumstances and our thoughts and feelings may be unfamiliar too. New doesn’t imply easy or comfortable, on the contrary many people opt not to travel for this very reason, but new is often exciting and an opportunity to grow. And we need not be far from home.
