When I travel for extended periods of time, I've noticed that when I come back home, I often feel disoriented. Traveling is a lot of fun, but it can also be draining. The constant on the move mentality and lack of routine can make me feel tired. Of course, like all things in life, friends make it better!
It took me over 24 hours to trek back from Canada to California, and my energy levels were pretty low. But the day was just about to get so much better! I was greeted at the bus station by @acromott! It was so nice to see him. I was in for a surprise, as my friends had planned a surprise get together to go see the movie "Ready Player One." One of my favorite books! After being home for less than 20 minutes, I was on my way to see Joel, Wasana, @muffintuesday, and @threebagsfull. EKK! What a delight.
Sometimes, when I get home from traveling, I can become a hermit and just hide out in my room. It is such a nice feeling when your friends seek you out and help you get integrated again.
I documented my first day home, so I could share it with you all! It was so nice to be back in the Sunshine State, I really did miss wearing a tank top! hahaha! I love you Canada, but the cold weather I could totally do without.
How have your friends helped you out in your life? Feel free to leave a comment below.

My friends have helped me overcome all the adversities of my life thanks to their love and company, they make me feel sheltered and give me the strength to get up and continue on my way. It is a gift to be able to share my mood with trusted people, who are there to listen to me and encourage me. I have learned that a true friend is the one who knows how to understand you, being able to put yourself in your place, without judging you. Our way of being and behaving in the present is the result of experiences and inner learning that we do in the face of adversity. Although we are all unique and different, we can always share and enjoy each other's company. The challenge is to enjoy friendship with flexibility. There are friends with whom you can have a deep conversation and yet you do not share likes or opinions in other areas of life. Some are early risers and others are late-night. Some are athletes and others are more leveraged. Beyond these superficial differences, friends are those who offer their support, their smile, their silence, their conversation and, in short, their time and presence when you need it most. In fact, for me the true friends are those that make you grow, improve and mature in the way of learning that is life. Thus, friendship is the art of knowing how to care for the other, which is the purest love, since true friends only want the best for each other.

It was not Karen, thanks to you for reading what I wrote.
I'm very happy that you could understand what I wanted to express to you, I know that my English is not the best because it is not my native language (where I live only we speak Spanish)
And thank you, again for sharing your beautiful experience
