let the wild ride begin!
okay, so lately i've been focusing on fear and doubt and overwhelm and insecurity regarding my upcoming relocation. three weeks ago i wrote all about it in far beyond. all about the anticipation and the anxiety. because every day there is unknown territory. a new question. a new stumbling block. a new uncertainty. on july 1:
and then on july 20:
my chili-red mini cooper, that's been my sidekick for nine years, now NOT going with me as planned. and, of course, this. oh . . . THIS:
so many hoops to continuously jump through! i've started sorting through my stuff. again. it was only three years ago when i gave away, sold, or threw away two-thirds of my belongings. how does it accumulate so quickly? at least this part, the decluttering, shouldn't be nearly as time-consuming or emotional this go-round. (i also wrote about that 2013 experience!) lots to know, lots to consider, lots to do, lots to still find out. sometimes i almost forget how excited i am to be going! but not quite . . . so now, now i think it might be wise to list out some of the positives. the flip side of far beyond, if you will. because i'm MOVING TO ITALY!
the people (already a few wonderful friends and relatives waiting, many more to meet)
the coffee (my favorite drink, inexpensive/delicious/abundantly available)
the travel opportunities (amazing destinations reached by car, a nearby train station too)
the villa (my villa magnolia)
THE ARRIVAL (i've been imagining and designing this retreat-no-more concept for years)
the broadened awareness (naturally occurring, ready and eager for the adventure)
the roots (my heritage, my grandma's birth place)
the history (explored when homeschooling my sons, now coming alive in person)
the visitors (i will be expecting and welcoming many)
the mediterranean (no other words necessary)
"can i really live here?"
"yes. yes, i can!"
