Stop Smelling Wines & Smell The Roses!

First off... My apologies for going a month without a new blog. My classic Capricorn tendencies kicked in and I started going extra hard studying wine info. I t got to the point where I wasn't sleeping, or was sleeping at odd hours to make my days more productive. Needless to say, my schedule was completely thrown off and I found myself slipping on blog posts, tired in Italian class, missing homework assignments and was missing out on experiencing more of Florence by being glued to my textbooks. No work life balance at all!!!!

Just like the Goat that's symbolic of the sign Capricorn, we will scale a whole mountain risking life and limb in order to make it to the top, and we don't mind being up there all alone. (But that don't make it right!) We can be a little too goal oriented, forgetting our own wellness and end up being the loners of society. If you're anything like me, then you also know that your mind and body will start to tell you when you are doing too much and when it talks, you have to listen!

3 weeks of neglect caught up with me and now I'm finding a perfect balance. I'm pivoting my plans to be able to enjoy life and having the flexibility that is needed in order to be successful. I recently caught up on some sleep, I've been spending time watching TV again, (I had stopped doing that and it's my favorite thing!) I have been walking around the city more, shopping more, enjoying happy hours with friends and still have time to study. I had to tell myself to stop smelling wines and smell the roses instead! Life's too short!

I'll keep this post short too.I think I got my point across well enough to you all and an episode of "90 Day Fiancé" is calling my name before bed.

Miracles and Blessings!
