Day 318: Vicarious Living

(For Thursday July 10)

I am grateful for people who go places I won't be able to, do things I cannot, experience different cultures that I don't have a chance to experience and then share those things with *us*.  I am grateful for their willingness to share their trips and for the chance to vicariously live through them!  Whether I know them personally or not I love living different cultures and such through the eyes, ears, and mouth of others.  It expands my world, it gives me insight into different cultures, it reminds me that we are all different and yet the same.  Right now I have a friend who is in Romania and traveled through Vienna to get there.  She is a frequent world traveler and always posts tons of pics and I am so grateful!  I love seeing other parts of this great big world.  I'm reading a book right now about a family that traveled the world for one full year. Fascinating.  Through their experiences I am living vicariously as well.  I was thinking about it earlier today and realized how grateful I was to live vicariously through others.  I consider it a gift they share with *us*.
