Well, I've made it safe and sound the first step of the way to Italy. I'm in Atlanta, GA for a layover and I'm staying with my fabulous Aunt Lesli and her family.
Can I just say that I absolutely love travelling! I mean don't get me wrong, it's insanely stressful at moments. But once you're on your plane (or train or automobile) and you can just sit and watch and listen you see the beautiful things in life play out in the people around you.
You see all the emotions of the heart displayed for all the world to see. You hear people talk about their passions to complete strangers, simply because they know they'll never see them again. It would be nice if we could demonstrate such passion for life all the time wouldn't it?
Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know I've already seen the answer to my own prayers and probably some of yours as well. I asked that this trip wouldn't be about me. Already I can see that it isn't.
Without any hesitation I can say that this trip would not have happened if it were not for at least nine different people. I'm merely human and as much as I'd like to think I'm in control of my little old life, I'm not...at all.
So thank you, each of you for your prayers and encouragement and help and wisdom. Without you this trip wouldn't be happening. Enjoy this Christmas season and all the peace, joy and love that it brings.
Oh, just a P.S. For the final in one of my classes this semester my group made a short film...if you're at all interested in seeing it the link to it is: http//www.vimeo.com/17862544.
I'm considering the idea of expanding it and writing a script for it later on. Enjoy :)
