You seem to make the best decision when it comes time to step up or step back.

My live is a vacation of sorts. We live very simply but live in a way that we can immerse ourselves in different places and different cultures. Our only requirement is access to the internet, in terms of making a steady income. We are extremely fortunate and never let a day go by without recognizing that.

Italy is wonderful. We are in the middle of nowhere and spend our time just being here, exploring, cooking, seeing friends or just hanging out on DU.

I don't know what I did to deserve this, but its' a life without complaint.
