travis' brain dump

However stolen that quote is, it’s quite honestly the only way to describe what it’s like here. I guess you could start off with saying this is most definitely what I needed. Today was the first time I have ever not looked at a clock to see what time it was or worried about some sort of schedule or time-frame. It’s as though time itself had been standing still all around me.

This place is amazing. The atmosphere is like no other I have ever encountered. In this little town, life is most definitely not like it is in any other place. The people are amazing here, simply amazing. It’s as though everyone knows and understands their purpose and works together to achieve it together. The company is absolutely amazing here. It’s like being part of one big family and I definitely think a few days just isn’t enough to fully appreciate all there is around me.

While on a walk today I noticed how quiet things were. You could listen to the wind in the trees, children playing and the occasional noise of a 4-wheeler ripping around town. But when those noises came and went, the sounds of silence and the feeling of peace was almost overwhelming.

A wedding reception this evening was absolutely amazing. I watched as the bride and groom were greeted by family members and friends and as those attending gathered together to enjoy and celebrate in this occasion. The music playing, the sound of little children (including my own) running around playing and dancing and the general feeling that everyone around me, related or not – were indeed one huge family. I stood, all amazed.

There is so much more to write, however I find that I want to leave this computer and go submerge myself further into all that is around me. I just wanted to let everyone know that I was okay and that I was having an incredible time. I am so grateful to be here.
