A new beginning

Thank you, Lord.

It is a new beginning for me today.  I am happy and relieved that I am not bound by my feelings anymore and that I can move on.

I had a wonderful vacation in Italy and Greece and I come back to find that my feelings were unrequited.  That's okay, because God has a plan.  I see why my friend was in my life the past year and a half. :)

It was surreal being in the Sistine Chapel and staring at the ceiling.  There is something about art that has lived through the ages and depicts an interpretation of the Creation story and the Last Judgment.  Poor Michelangelo - not even a painter and didn't get paid by the Pope for all those years of work.

Seeing Oia's view was another moment I will never forget.  It was stunning to see the white buildings against the dark volcanic rock with the Aegean Sea in its scintillating dark blue waters below.  I can't thank Tessa enough for discovering her favorite destination and inviting me and her friends out to celebrate her birthday.  I felt like I was transported to another world out there.

Very excited about life.
