Greetings Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for May 2nd!  It’s by Aldous Huxley, the English author who wrote “Brave New World”.  He lived from 1894 to 1963.
“Your true traveler finds boredom rather agreeable than painful.  It is the symbol of his liberty, his excessive freedom.  He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.”
So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine.

“Spending time with yourself is often a luxury in our fast-paced, crowded world of today.  But we all need space.  Traveling provides that space to do what we want, when we want, and where we want.  It’s our time to be “unplugged”, although as creatures of habit, that may be hard to do at first.  A long train ride, for example, is a great opportunity to do nothing but look out the window, take a nap, or just contemplate your navel.  Solo travel is the best way to have time to yourself.  You’re the boss.  Who knows, maybe an original thought may pop into your head.  Been a while, huh?  
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!
