Having your world upended can be amazingly painful and harsh. <BR/><BR/>And I don't think that having a family life and normal job excludes you from the pleasures of living. I know there are many many people who enjoy a bountiful family life and find every joy and pleasure in that world.<BR/><BR/>I, for one, was one of those people she was talking about: someone who was hibernating in an unhappy marriage, pointless job and boring future, all of which would have eventually been the death of my spirit and probably my person, as well. <BR/><BR/>So, to me, this quote is rather poignant and powerful as I see in it the alternate life I almost had, and escaped. I made a vow to never return to a state of unconscioussness, if I could possibly help myself. <BR/><BR/>Travel, for me, is one way of shaking things up a bit.<BR/><BR/>But now I think that tango, too, serves such a purpose for many of us.tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-65847724597680228862007-11-06T13:19:00.000-08:002007-11-06T13:19:00.000-08:00And God knows, sometimes people get married, have ...And God knows, sometimes people get married, have babies, make life time decisions about careers, places to live...all the while they are in that "hibernating" life.

Words literally flow. As always, I appreciate your readership and thank you for the compliment.<BR/><BR/>Grazie.<BR/><BR/>Dear Johanna,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the welcome home wishes! I just have to figure out how to have these awakenings more often. Sometimes I am better at it than others.<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/><BR/>Dear tp (formerly known as TJ),<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you've had some wonderful life-changing experiences abroad. I will wait with anticipation to hear about your trip to BA.<BR/><BR/>You are right. I know that I will never lose the memory of this trip. I just like to feel it and the joy of discovery in my bones. I suffer from wanderlust more often than I care to admit.<BR/><BR/>As always, thank you for sharing.<BR/><BR/>xotangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-10995612062473683112007-11-05T07:31:00.000-08:002007-11-05T07:31:00.000-08:00TB,I had been through a few of those awakening tri...TB,<BR/><BR/>I had been through a few of those awakening trips myself: Paris, the French countryside, Tuscany, Venice, eastern Europe... And now Buenos Aires. <BR/><BR/>Even though the memorabilia and thousands of photos I took are long gone, the memories are more vivid as life goes on. You would never lose the memory of your Venice trip. It could only be sweeter as time goes on, like fine red wine aging. <BR/><BR/>And keep the Euro, the value of it is going up. <BR/><BR/>Yours truly<BR/><BR/>the Formerly known as TJ, now TPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-32117303556878746182007-11-04T19:57:00.000-08:002007-11-04T19:57:00.000-08:00Welcome home TB.
