Impatience

A favourite memory from my month in Paris, when I
stumbled on this Chagall ceiling during my
unplanned visit to the Opera Garnier

I am impatient.
I want to travel.
I need to travel.
So hard to wait for things to be settled.
So tired of being grounded.
So tired of scraping by.
Outwardly, all well.
Inwardly, mostly well too.
But I have moments of feeling trapped.
So tired of feeling like a foreigner in my own life.
So tired of not being able to take off on a whim.
For some time I made peace with it.
But now, I'm just tired of it. Fed up. Impatient.
At moments like this. I am holding on by a thread.

Discovering San Miguel de Allende

I am reading a book about some expats who moved to the village of San Miguel de Allende: On Mexican Time: A New Life In San Miguel.

Interesting: Toller Cranston's home in
San Miguel when he was still alive

I confess I started in the middle, when they impulsively bought a house on the last day of their stay in the remote village. I was hooked.

Now I have returned to the beginning to read their full story. At the same time, I am learning more about this charming village. I've heard of it a few times now, so I am becoming more curious... [read what I learned on my Travels with Roberta blog]
