....well, maybe in the (long) process of finding:

compassion
patience
resilience
self reliance
joy in solitude
trust in my 'gut' 
boundaries
creativity for comfort
friends for whom flight is not an option
insight
patience
spiritual resources 
nature's solace
photography
ability to distinguish fear from anger
healthy detachment
permission (from self) for respite
patience
fellow travelers
mindfulness
writing
more confidence in financial matters
letting go of past conflicts
ability to do household repairs
increased simplicity

travel planning skills
a thicker skin
patience
selectivity with activities and people
'wants', not 'shoulds'
the "beginning again" possibility of each new day
