The Future

This week I have been thinking a lot about the future, although I kind of don't want to! I am really enjoying living for now and doing what I want to do now without a care for what will happen next week or month or year, it is refreshing and not nearly as scary as I thought it would be!

I have always been a worrier and a planner, I liked to have an idea of where I was heading, but then that led to worry when things didn't go as planned! I thought I had my life sorted on more than one occasion, only to find out that things change, I changed, my circumstances changed and I know now that nothing is certain and moreover that lfe is short; I need to make the most of now and worry less about the future. I decided to come here to Catania on a total whim, I saw the advert, applied and decided that if they offered me the job I would take it and they did. Now I am here having a whale of a time!

I am planning ahead for a big trip with Steph, she is flying to Catania and we are spending the weekend here before heading to Rome and then leaving from Venice to get home, and in between maybe Florence and Milan or somewhere else, it will be awesome!!! I am looking forward to it SO much and so thinking of the future in terms of this trip has been really exciting.

But what about the future after June...? I know that I can't wait to get home and see everyone, my famly especially! I can't wait to see Tara walking, see all of my friends and their families... I know it will be great to be home, in my house with all the home comforts I don't have here; like an oven and carpets - I miss carpets!!!!

After that, well who knows, I have so many options and lots of time of time to think about it. I will not waste more time planning and stressing and worrying about what I can't control, I will make my decisions when I need to and try to enjoy the moment. I said TRY!

So, I am off now to eat lots of delicious Italian food as I am hungry!
