Did you feel a breeze today? It was just us waving across the ocean to all of you. We made it to the beaches on the end of the line and enjoyed the wind and brilliant sun. Along the way we visited Ostia Antica and logged a million miles through the ruins.
I managed to deposit some “Carpe Diem” notes to a group of young U.S. students. These notes were left by my sister when she returned home, and I just thought somebody needed the thoughtful quotations on them – all regarding seizing life and making the most of the day. Young ones seemed like perfect recipients.
At lunch I saw a young man I’d seen about two weeks ago on the Metro! I knew him because his neck wound had healed fairly well. Seriously. But really, I’m in an offbeat ruins site and see someone from Roma metro that I happened to notice weeks ago?
The crowning glory, however, was that I once again, today – for the entire day – wore my shirt inside out. And my husband knew. He just figured it was a normal thing for me since I’d already done it – and with this same shirt! My Aussie friend, Pauline, would tell me that wearing clothing inside out indicates that I will come into some money. (Her mother used to say that.) I think I need to get rid of the shirt.
And so, tomorrow, I am looking forward to wearing my clothing properly and finding some money. But I’m out of soap and notes. Maybe I’ll wash this shirt and pass it on?
