A scene from eastern Arkansas not too far from Memphis.
I laid awake a long time that night before going to sleep knowing this was my last night on the road and I would be home the next day. I felt a little sad it was almost over, but I was also happy that I would be seeing family and friends again.
So much had happened in these past few weeks, and I experienced it all with an intensity that is hard to describe. The fresh perspective obtained would keep me smiling for years to come.
