She's got moxie…

travels

…and I want some, please!

My girlfriend turned me onto this lovely blog today, and I have been wishing for the last hour that I was the one renovating a cottage in France. For years, I have longed for my very own place nestled among the vineyards somewhere in the hills of Italy or France. So, of course, I started thinking logistically…because that is just how this brain works. What would it take to make a dream this BIG come true? Would I school my children there? Could we all become fluent in the language? Could we even afford it? How, why, what, when… And you know what? None of that particularly matters because if you want something badly enough, you will work up enough moxie to make it happen. Simple as that. Which reminds me of a quote I love…

It is only a matter of time, dear cottage, only a matter of time…
