It is hard to believe that in 48 hours we will be on a flight to Rome. After a year of planning, the time is here. I don't think I have ever been this relaxed and prepared when travelling. We are at a perfect age, financial position, health status, relationship status and headspace to fully enjoy this trip.
I really see this trip as a dividing line between who we were, who we are currently in transition, and who we have the potential to be down the road. I am excited to share this adventure and to plan for our future with Cheryl along this journey.
I am really settling in to the idea that we can be/do whatever we want. I don't know if I fully processed this along the way, but it is exciting to be living now in a manner that "I want to" and not that "I have to".
I am very lucky to be in the place that I am right now where my kids want to come home and see us and I need to remember that so many people I know don't have their kids in their lives and my kids are such a great support to me and knowing that they want to come home and are happy to be here and sharing I don't think I fully grasp how unique and how good this is at this particular moment in my life I really need this right now
One of the incorrect things that I learned from Mom is that showing vulnerability will make you seem weak, when the reverse is true. Showing vulnerability allows people to connect to you and allows for great depth.
