Laughter and Love Make a Day Complete

Here I am back in Málaga and it feels like home!  Have you ever gone on a trip and at the end you’re on such a high all you can think about is when you can go back?  That is exactly how I felt when I was saying a tearful adios to Málaga.  I walked around this beautiful city for 8 months and couldn’t imagine leaving.  After a few weeks back in the U.S. I knew that I had to come back!  If for a month or a year time wasn’t important.  Honestly,  if I could, I would pay for every one of you to come visit me.  Neither words nor pictures  describe this story book beauty!  Likewise, if you’ve ever returned to a place that you once lived it feels new and familiar and strange at the same time.  Faces have faded out and new ones in; everything is constantly changing.   If it’s one thing that I’ve learned over the last couple of years it is EMBRACE CHANGE.  I used to be an X+Y always = Z kind of girl and it was such a boring way of life!  Change is different, it’s unfamiliar, nerve racking, and mysterious!  I remember reading a quote and I’m paraphrasing but it went something like “courage is being afraid but doing it anyway.”  Who isn’t terrified to try something different?  It could be the best thing that ever happens to you or it could be awful and you learn from the disaster.  Life with no risk and no chance will get you an ordinary life.  Talk to a stranger, take a back road, add some pizzazz!  Besitos!
