"No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten."
As I am turning the last page of this chapter in my life, feelings of gratitude, love and admiration fill my mind and heart. And although the chapter has ended, I will never forget the story it told…
Mindless hours of laughing and chatting over farewell meals, shopping sprees, hot chocolates and walking the city streets with the most important people in my life—all crammed into one month—has been an amazing blessing. I thank you all for your friendship and reminding me how important it is to have love in our lives. I am already looking forward to the reunions and the stories to be shared upon my return to the States!
When I get homesick, I will surely remember…
Hugging my favorite dentist goodbye (I expect reports on all the Economist magazines I miss!!)
The DC trip that never happened, thanks to Verizon Business
Getting the Bombay hook-up from my peeps at GNC
Brunch at Bubby’s with Denise and Amy and
our friendly cockroach visitor
My first Harley ride in 40 degree weather
Playing a tourist in Philly with Micah and finding a good shot of Franklin’s, um,
declaration Dinner at the infamous sushi conveyer belt with Pete
Dead arms from all the shots—but worth all the laughs I got from the humorous Angelo
RSC crew-of-two representing on John Street, dancing to Luxurious
Sushi Hana w/ Elena and yes another critter visiting our table
Breakfast with the two most amazing women in my life—my mother and Aunt C—and almost getting my camera stolen!
Bangkok Garden and shopping for little Sean Robert’s first pair of shoes with a truly inspiring mom-to-be
Writing my first short story for Playboy
Singing M5’s Sunday Morning in the car, late good-bye’s in the church parking lot and kissing restroom visitors
Eva’s Kitchen prep night and the
talk Looking forward to making twice as many memories when I return! Thanks again to all of you guys for making this last month so memorable! Can’t wait to share my experiences and pictures with you as I begin this new chapter of my life on the road, “pen in hand, ending unplanned.”
xoxo
