An overnight business trip

Yesterday morning after dropping the kids at school, I left for a conference. They knew I was staying the night and would be back tonight. Everybody’s pretty used to these trips at this point. A one night away is no big deal. Clair even except it, though she makes it clear she misses me. I was happy to find a whole bunch of “mail“ by the side of my bed this evening. She was thinking of me!

I do know they all miss me and prefer if I am home. But these little trips continue to be enjoyable for me from a work perspective and a reminder of how I did love work when I was traveling all the time.

I’m blessed to have a good balance right now.
