Italy

Tonight I was supposed to be on a plane flying over the ocean to Italy. I’ve never been outside the country before. It was a trip we had planned for nearly a year. We had everything figured out. We were pumped and ready until this virus hit and changed everything. Pretty sad story right?  life is just plain disappointing! Or is it? The truth is it’s entirely up to us how we want to feel and even the story we choose to tell about our life. Sometimes in life we want to feel disappointed, sad, angry, or frustrated, and that’s totally fine!  But if we don’t want to feel that way, it’s totally up to us to change the story. Which is the best news ever! I mean maybe instead of being disappointed I could decide to be grateful. Grateful that we didn’t get stuck over there for months without a way to come home. Grateful that we are all healthy. And so grateful we were able to get our money back and reschedule. I know we will make it to Italy someday and that life will get back to normal for all of us eventually. It’s my opinion that the universe has our back. Things always pan out the way they’re supposed to and for our personal benefit. We just need to hang on for the ride!
