Community – A Common Thread

It’s hard to believe it’s been a month since I’ve returned from sabbatical this summer and that this is my first contribution to our blog since I returned.

Our travels surpassed all of our expectations and it was truly a life-changing experience for everyone in my family. Many friends have asked what the highlights or favorite part of our experience was and it’s really impossible for me to answer that question. It wasn’t any particular country or place we visited. What I’ll remember forever are 1) the wonderful people we met 2) how happy they were, despite many of them having far less (as westerners would define it) than most of the poorest people in developed nations and 3) watching my children turn into young adults before my eyes.
