Happiness is…
I have been fortunate to move abroad and live in Europe.
I have been eagerly traveling the world.
I have eaten gourmet meals, enjoyed vintage wines, splurged on too many rich desserts.
I have had exciting adventures, hilarious mishaps, extraordinary experiences, serendipitous encounters, amazing surprises.
I have made wonderful friends here, there, and everywhere along the way.
And yet, I’d trade exotic locales, gourmet food, exciting adventures, and even good companions for this:
Two girls, one dog, one husband, and me — all together — under one roof.
Katie is back at last, and we are a united family. Jeff and I literally sighed in relief as we collapsed into bed the other night.
Happiness is my family under one roof.
True bliss.
