Place I Call Home

On a return flight, from any journey, as the plane circles Gallatin Valley, I look down from the window and marvel at the creeks meandering through a verdant valley, beautiful impressive mountains, often snow-capped, small bustling communities. When I get on the ground, I take in a big breath of fresh air and scan the vista. It is a perfect mix of interesting people and activities in a vibrant community, along with open space to provide solace and introspection in nature. It is always a gift to be able to return to the place I call 'home.
