Incredibly Fortunate

Can't believe it's been TEN YEARS since I
applied for a Visa to study abroad in Florence.  

{insert longing sigh here}

While filing the paperwork to renew my passport, 

it physically took my breath away to go through 

each and every stamp... 28 in total.

Not a day goes by when I don't stop to think about 

how each and every trip, travel companion, country, 

culture, and adventure has shaped my everything. 

beyond thankful = me
