Grazie mille

To whoever you are who read this blog -- any part of it -- this year, thank you.  Thank you for having an interest in our life and our year and for reading what I write, for being part of our Italy adventure for this year.  Sometimes I haven't known whether anyone was reading, and that was okay.  Sometimes a friend would send a message that she or he had read an entry or many entries, and I would feel so happy and connected and appreciative.  Writing has been a really wonderful part of this year for me.  So thank you for the encouragement and support and interest and really really wonderful and generous gesture of reading.
