"In the end, I've come to believe in something I call "The Physics of the Quest." A force in nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity. The rule of Quest Physics goes something like this: If you're brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you" - Eat Pray Love

It Feels Like Christmas Eve

When you are a kid, nothing is more exciting than Christmas Eve. You lay in bed but there is no way you can possibly sleep because all you can do is think about Santa and the presents that are sure to be under the tree when you wake up in the morning. That's exactly how I feel right now. Except it's not Santa that's coming it's a plane and it's not presents that await me it's Europe. My mind cannot stop running through all of the things I have packed and re-packed, all of the things I cannot forget tomorrow, and all of the experiences I am about to embark on. I don't think I have been this excited since the Christmas eve before my sister ruined the whole Santa Claus thing for me. So I guess this trip is sort of like Christmas for me, it brings new, unopened experiences waiting for me to explore them. However, it does have a one up on everyone's favorite holiday - it isn't over in one day. I look forward to sharing with you my first experiences of Europe, starting with Madrid on Tuesday!
