Thoughts from Montalcino

In the US we are always in such a rush. We are always working for something bigger. WE're never quite satisfied, seldom taking the time to just stop and appreciate and be happy. I feel like I live with gratitude a lot but I am guilty of always looking forward to whatever happens next. Whats wrong with whats happening right now? It doesn't mean I'm not ambitious. It doesn't mean I don't have goals. Again, why do I do the things I do? Because it makes me happy or because I'm trying to prove myself to someone? When I return I will remember and try to embrace the simplicity of this place. They are living a good life.
