What has been on my mind in terms of energy this week has been an upcoming trip to Europe.
"It will be a wonderful vacation!" people tell me.
I am sure that on some level it will.
On another level, it will be weeks of navigating foreign lands, trying to figure out how to communicate basic needs in a language I can barely speak (I am memorizing, in particular, "Mi dispiace! Parli prego lentemente! Aprendo Italiano.")
It sounds very romantic, like a montage of Amelie and Under the Tuscan Sun and any other wonderfully romantic movie about another country that you've ever seen...complete with a set of those quirky Europeans.
And yet, I also know that the exhaustion will have me to my knees, that there will come a time when I practically beg and pray for something "normal," when just being among people who don't speak the same language as myself will exhaust me.
These are my thoughts on energy--a post of writing this week that is not particularly beautiful or flowing, but related to the topic all the same.
