Greetings Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for May 25th!  It’s by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American poet, lecturer, essayist, and leader of the transcendentalist movement.  He lived from 1803 to 1882. 
“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must  carry it with us, or we find it not.”
So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine.  “This is my all-time favorite quote, ironically by a source who seems to lack enthusiasm for traveling.  I agree with this one though.  If you’re a bozo at home and not able to appreciate the beauty and splendor that surrounds you there, you’ll probably have a problem finding those qualities elsewhere.  The problem is not the setting; it’s you.  And, unfortunately, you will take that same attitude and mindset with you wherever you go.  So, brighten up and enjoy life at home and on the road.”
Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in May.  I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  And leave a comment.  I’d like to hear your thoughts too.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
