I went to Memphis this past weekend. It was so good for a multitude of reasons...
Visiting a set of my friends that I rarely get to see... friends from summer camp, where I spent my childhood and some of my pre-"adult" summers. It was great. They remind me of certain aspects about myself that often go un-appreciated - even aspects that I, myself, under-appreciate.

Flying. I L-O-V-E LOVE to fly. It's something like to an out of body experience - a chance to leave life for a little while, relax, be away from my cell phone, computer, away from school, away from confusing relationships. It's a great view of sunrises, sunsets, lightning (in my case), and the stars! I can think clearly about my plans, aspirations and beliefs.

I wonder why flying is so refreshing? Could the changes in pressure and oxygen content be the reason? Certainly the preparation for flight is not... missed flights, security lines, taking off your shoes and walking where thousands of people walk bare-footed each day... yuck! But nonetheless, the flight, itself, is wonderful.
