Greece!

I am so excited to get away from work and everything else for a bit and see Greece! I have always wanted to go. Not very excited about hanging over the Atlantic for 10 hours but it is a small price to pay to see Greece!

First Day: Sightseeing in Athens and staying at the O & B Hotel

Then it is on to Santorini for a week of relaxation at the Santorini Princess

Passports are ready; I have been practicing my Greek; now all I need is some new luggage!
The countdown is on!

Dear FutureMe,

I don't know where you are in your life right now.  Hopefully happy and healthy.  However, If your life is dark right now...hang in there!!  It will get better!  You know that you have made some difficult choices but don't beat yourself up.  Let it go.  forgive, forget....even if its yourself you are forgiving.  Don't focus on past mistakes or tell yourself that you would be better off if there was a certain person in your life.  You are better off because YOU are in your life.  Live for the present.  Do whatever it is you are procrastinating about.  You are 30 but you are not dead!  You have an entire life time in front of you.

Oh...take a moment, put on your favorite song, fix yourself a margarita and dance like no one is watching.

I love you,

Lesley
