always learning

Even when my days aren't as productive as I would hope (like today's lazy Saturday), I still always learn something. Yesterday, I learned that life is all about balance - and eventually I'll figure it out. Today, I learned to not allow my pride to overcome me - I'm a stubborn, little girl and sometimes I wonder if I'll ever, truly grow up. I'm slowly learning to say "I'm sorry" when an "I'm sorry" is due. Baby steps.

On a completely unrelated note...I need to get back to Europe. [Disclaimer: Please note that when the following statement comes out of my mouth, that I'm fully aware of how "typical-American" it will sound- but just shut up] Statement: After traveling across the Atlantic, I can confidently say that I have a connection with Europe more than any other place on Earth. For serious. [cringe all you want]

Although Nashville is my home, Hilton Head is my soul, and New York is my HEART - I have a sense of comfort in Europe that I can't quite put my finger on. Perhaps it's the ''unknown'' in each city - not knowing what I'll discover around every corner. Or perhaps it's the fact that I'm in a place that I truly don't belong - therefore, making it a constant adventure? Whatever the reason, I love the old-world feeling it affords me and I MUST go back.

I was going through my old albums...AHH.
