I have to confess that although I'm seeing wonderful things over here and I am so glad and thankful that I've had the opportunity to see the things I have, and I want to continue to travel around the world and see all the interesting things there are to see, I find myself loving the United States all the more in being here, especially rural America.I love Virginia. I love Michigan. I associate both with the word "home" in my mind and heart. I would love to attend a graduate program in Virginia. We'll see how that works out - it's still a ways off - but it's a goal! :)
A simple life is a good life. I've done a lot of reflecting on my childhood and adolescence and have seen how good it was. I'm very happy and grateful for my parents (love you!), my family (love you, too!) and my friends (you're alright...kidding - of course I love you!). Unfortunately, I haven't made much of an effort to draw close to many people. I find myself scheduling people in rather than working my schedule around the people who are important to me. It has taken me coming here and feeling extremely lonely to realize how little time I invest in being with other people.
Anyway, thank you John Denver.
On that note, I'm leaving for Rome in a few hours, so I won't be writing in a while! I return to Bruxelles on 2 November (wow! Where did November come from??), so look forward to a post shortly thereafter!
My love!
Gracie

Hi Sarah, It was John Denvers music that inspired me to move to Colorado so many years ago :O) So, you are just like Norbet, coming out of your shell! My baby is growing up. I love and miss you. Be safe! You must be on a college break of sorts? Home sweet home is waiting for YOU! Love and miss you, Mom
