My Passport came in!

-


 YAAAY! My 2023 Passport came in the mail and is active for 10-years to 2033! That is an entire decade and I hope to be able to FILL IT UP with destinations outside of the United States.

Other "maybe" trips are - Barcelona in March, Ireland, and Netherlands in August. 

As Dr. Suess says, "Oh the places you will go"!

“Effective Immediately”

“Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle.
