  3. It was great seeing you up on the screen, Lara. I'd wondered where you'd disappeared to . . . so scrolled back . . . happy you had a lovely holiday with family . . . I totally understand how you're eager to travel more as I've never lost the traveling bug (hmm, if you haven't visited Asia, you should. Highly recommend you start out in Thailand!!!) Happy New Year . . . and enjoyed your inspiring quotes.
