Italy
July 6, 2009
Italy was an adventure for me. All those lovely olive trees, providing an abundance of fresh, perfect switches… not to mention a villa on the Italian country side, with rolling hills, greenery and plenty of privacy.
Alas, this is all fantasy for me, of course. I went with an old friend who is just that– a friend. Nothing more, never has been, never will be. Not to mention, we were with a group of seven other people.
But my imagination ran wild while I was there. I spent part of the time sick, so I had ample opportunity for fantasizing. In my minds eye, I was there with my husband, and those switches got put to good use!
Italy is beautiful, for sure. But I have to say, I was very glad when that plane set down at LAX. There really is no place like home, even if home does have its flaws.
I came home with renewed determinations. One is to take control of my health, as much as possible. I have a serious condition, but one thing I do know after having worked in the health food industry for many years, is that the medical community has one way of looking at things, and the alternative community has another. Although I’ve embraced both to a certain degree, I know I can do better.
The other determination is to find a partner. I’ve been looking for some time, but not nearly as diligently as I could. It’s hard, it’s scary, and it takes effort.
He’s out there somewhere. Of this I feel sure. Maybe someday soon I’ll be writing about true life adventures, instead of just fantasy.
