Hi, I love to walk in the early morning hours when I listen to the birds sing and grasp the finer moments of a new day and all it holds that is good and kind. I belong to a book group and a wonderful writing group, where we write short inspirational stories and then share them within the group. I have a library of over 10,000 books and ergo am a voracious reader. I'm Sicilian and would love to speak Italian fluently as well as visit Italy on a long term basis one day soon. I believe in speaking gently, softly and kindly. Life is short and kindness goes a long way in all religions.
