Business Trip off to a slow start
My mom coined the phrase the other day as:
"Katie, I got it, you are just going on a business trip."
Great way of thinking of it, and making my mom feel better of me leaving(once again). I am currently waiting at my gate. Last night there were some, what I would like to call spring thunderstorms that rolled in, so most of the flights out of O'Hare have been delayed. Oh well, I say. I have no reason to be tense about this change in life's actions. My Dad hung around for awhile until it was drawing near to my departure time, I entered the concourse then. It is still raining quite hard but it is by far a fabulous day I think.
I am very excited to see all my friends again, and to learn much more about myself. The girls I took care of are going to be so excited to see me and vice versa. As I said in my last post, my bag is FULL of presents mostly for them. They are going to be so big I am sure. All of these experiences I have learned from, gained from, and shared with friends and family. There is just so much to learn in life. I feel I am going to THE place that has shaped my soul. May it be because of blood, because of my personality, my perseverance but MY GOD, I have been through a lot in Firenze.
It has never steered me wrong, it has drawn me closer to what I want in my life. It has brought me love, sadness, fear, hopefulness, perseverance, and determination. These traits I have spread throughout my relationships abroad and at home. It has made me who I am and is still shaping me into who I will become. I believe that we are constantly changing beings on this earth. New cells are bred, organs are rejuvenated, skin is renewed, and the mind is evolving. Alas, I am going be a changed being when I step onto Italian soil once again. Because I am not the same person as when I left.
I am 27 and What I know for sure is.....that I love being in Firenze!

It is surprising how the place you live makes you feel..I can't wait to go back to Italy, even if it is only for a holiday....I felt the best I have ever felt.
