One more thing....

Please pray...one that my plane doesn't crash (I am UBER afraid of flying) and two....

please pray that I keep my head straight and focused on only the good and the fun.

sometimes I let things bother me. I am trying to NOT do that.

it's not easy.

gelato helps.

but so do you girls.

so here is what helps me - if you believe in it
i say a rosary on take off and landing - it helps me not focus on what is going on around me
If you dont believe then i will say a prayer to st christopher for you

and also - as someone who cried every day she was in italy last year. it helps to stop and literally say out loud 'i am in italy. wow. in a few weeks ( or whenever) i will be back to all that other stuff but for RIGHT THIS MOMENT IN TIME - this is where I am'

sorry if i sound crazy.

You'll be fine!

You'll be OK!

totally thinking postivie thoughts for ya.

You will be in my thoughts until you return safely.

It's all about fun, gelato and shopping.
Make that your mantra.

You'll be fine, Jess!! Just stop thinking, STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
