Letting My Soul Catch Up With My Body

On our return from a quick trip to Louisiana earlier this week, I realized that "my soul had not yet caught up with my body."

If soul consists of mind, will and emotions, it was clear to me that my soul was still down south with family, green grass, and warmer temperatures. Just because I was physically located in south Anchorage does not automatically mean that my soul adjusts right away to that reality.

I don't have a brilliant observation or action plan for this. It's an issue for anyone who travels. I've felt it time and again over the years, but not really understood it.

Perhaps the simple reality is that it...just...takes....time.
