Henry David Thoreau once said: “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”
Well since I was a little girl I have stared at the atlas for countless hours dreaming about living in Italy. I have imagined myself speaking the language, experiencing the culture and seeing the history rich sights of the area. Now it is time for me to live this life. As I sat on a plane headed for Milan, Italy there was no denying I was headed in the direction of my dreams. I left my home, family, friends, and everything that is familiar to me to live in a foreign land, and to be an outsider. As the plane began to touch down and I stared out the window looking at the small buildings and historic churches come more into focus, I could not wrap my mind around the fact that I was finally in Italy. I could see it; I could hear the pilot saying "welcome to Italia" but I was numb. I kept repeating to myself over and over again that I had made it. Well I have, and now in I owe it to myself to make the most out of this opportunity. Here is too life and where ever it may lead; it’s time to live it up!
Girl, that is the biggest back pack I have ever seen! Your dad gave me the link to the blog, and I'm enjoying it very much.
ReplyDeleteHey Sweetie! Great people watching post. Just remember, while Broomhilda (her name is probably Donatella or something of equal tackines)walks around in her stillettos, just think about her future medical bills for her knees and feet.
ReplyDeleteTequila: Thanks so much! As for the backpack you should see it when it is actually full! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, just like my Dad did I pack it full with camera equipment!
ReplyDeleteErika: Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to read it :) but yes that is a very good point for sure!
To think you were the little baby I would plop in the bathroom sink while I fixed my hair. And let's not forget how you used to crawl across the living room floor just to puke on my shoes. You have come a looong way sweetie and your auntie is very proud of you.
