I can't sleep. This is sometimes a problem for me - I'll find myself nodding off during the afternoon every once in awhile, and then a 20-minute catnap in the middle of the afternoon becomes a couple extra hours of awake time at night. Ay me!
Thinking a lot about il bel paese tonight - missing it especially for some reason. I think a few weeks ago I realized that this summer will mark five whole years since I went there. And I think a part of me hoped I would have returned by now, to experience bell'Italia in all of her beauty yet again. Yet, in the midst of my selfishness and my needy desire to be back there, I remain so thankful that I was even able to be there in the first place.
"You may have the universe, if I may have Italy."
~ Giuseppe Verdi
Admittedly, there are times Verdi and I are definitely of like minds.
a presto
