I read your post on Bleeding Espresso and thought I would drop by to thank you. A lovely comparison of Italy and Texas! I live in Houston and am married to an Italian, so lots of what you say makes sense to me. Love your blog too… will add it to my list. Nice to “meet” you!
Thanks for stopping by. Nice to meet you, too! Think I’ll pop over and say hi on your blog and see what’s going on in Houston. :) ~Tui
Hi Tui,
Sorry to read about your health issues. Being tired is certainly a bummer as well as possibly needing surgery but, I agree, that you needn’t fear anesthesia. Just treat it like flying. I always say my prayers before takeoff, and then, I put my faith in the pilots!
I like the pilot analogy! I’ve often told folks who are afraid of flying that statistically speaking, the most dangerous part of their trip is the drive to the airport. Thanks for the kind thoughts! :) ~Tui
