Love is All You Need
This week, which has gone from dismal and gray to gloriously colorful over here in Italy, has been reminding me gently why it is exactly I chose to make this move to Italy--this crazy decision that I never would have thought I'd make. And there are still moments when I forget what it is I am doing here, why exactly I chose to come to this country. It's not always easy, in fact--sometimes it's downright hard. But it's worth it...I always realize that it's worth it. Yesterday and today have reminded me again of that--a long run through the countryside, good talks with family, spending time with Antonello, gifts from friends. And flowers today, on Valentine's Day. Flowers and a really good lunch.
Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes I need it.
I love you, Antonello. Thank you for being the best part of my crazy Italian life.
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Lots of love to all of you!
Mom and Dad, I miss you and love you and can't wait to see you soon!
