Today is a special day. April 1st. April Fools Day. 91st day of the year. What's so special about that? Nothing really. Except that today is the day that a very good friend of mine begins an exciting chapter in her life. My previous boss Gerry has now retired and is flying to Italy to live for the next 3 months! While I will miss her terribly, I am super excited for her as she starts this adventure! I am also jealous - and who wouldn't be? She will be living in ITALY - with the bread and the pasta and the flowers and the wine! But more than that, I am jealous that she is at that point in her life when she is able to "do whatever she wants."
But I am also inspired. I LOVE that she still has enough gumption to actually do something like this. I love that she recognizes that she's not finished with her adventures and is doing something about it. It's like she's "carpe diem" incarnate. So awesome! I want to be that. I want to live my life like the exciting journey it is! I want to take that road less travelled! I want to stop and smell the roses! I want to look at problems like they are my friends! And I want to inspire others, the way Gerry has inspired me... Ciao, Gerry!
