Destination: Where do you look forward to going — and arriving?
It could be a vacation destination. Or the destination could be your home. It could be a place in the world. Or the destination could represent something you had in the past, but no longer have… but going there (even imagining going there) brings a sense of joy.
Grateful to get there.
For five years we lived near Dallas, Texas. I remember returning from trips late in the evening and seeing the iconic Dallas skyline. The view became an indication of the life we had in that city. And I felt an overwhelming sense of awe and thankfulness every single time. We haven’t lived in Dallas for more than a decade, but I still remember with thankfulness that destination experience.
On my 50th birthday, we stayed at a place called “Lion’s Head” on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario Canada. Rob arranged the trip because the destination holds a dear spot in my heart. Growing up, every June we’d camp there. The travel and arrival at Lion’s Head meant the beginning of summer. And 50 years later I still have a joyful sense of gratitude when I think of that destination.
What about you?

I believe my destination is H ❤️ M E. With all three of our adult children living in different states, we travel a lot. But when I see the “Welcome to Florida, the Sunshine State” sign, my heart always leaps for joy. Love this prompt Lori. I’m going to think on this some more. I know I have other special destinations yet to remember.
