I'm sure as a younger adult I had various worry stones over the years. I wonder where they all are now?
It's great to leave our worries behind when we have a vacation, but find our lodestone when we get back to "the land of worries" afterwards!

Excellent, clear, real and so poetic.
So true! Annie Prevost
so sad and so true, but I'm still going on vacation :)
Every day, Brian. Nifty!

This is perfect! Thank you!
Ah yes, our worries will always wait for us, unfortunately. A holiday might distract for a moment, but … nicely observed.
