You ... I am so, so glad you have moved to Paris!! You are absolutely in your Element!<br />Ever since you posed it as an idea to your readers, I felt strongly that you should take this step. And I remember emailing you and mentioning that you would save a lot of airfare $$. Are you there permanently? No more NY apartment? I read Paris Breakfast every day, and look forward to seeing some photos of where you live, what the neighborhood is like, how you are decorating it........what it is really like to really live in fabulous Paris. I have been there many times, and hope there will be more trips in the future. Good for you, Carol! You did it!!!!! If I didn't have all my family responsibility, I would be there too. No place in the world is better. It really is the center of the universe. The most refined and beautiful place. You are just where you should be. Absolutely. In your Element.<br /><br />Keep those wonderful Paris Breakfasts coming! With best wishes for a most creative life in Paris.

But things are right for a time; maybe forever and maybe not. I lived in Rome for 6 years where I was absolutely in my element. But when I found that I was driving around the colosseum without even looking at it, as I was so shocked to know that my Roman friends did, I realized that I had come to see the problems of that city more than its advantages and I eventually went home to have my children...so much easier in this country. (Australia). Expats have always got one foot in 2 places. Anyway I would live in France...in a castle in a wood somewhere......maybe one day.. You inspire so many people with your constant posts, and everyone has benefited from your move in some way. I adored the one on the Mont Blancs...how clever of you. Gwendoline.

Got it narrowed down to art & all things French which lead me to Paris last fall. God, it just felt right being there. Too old to find a job there. No extra $$ to just come to a long sojourn. So, I will keep on looking and keeping my eye out to find my way. Maybe, this book will help me.<br />Thanks!Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913958296981829141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-80113523103043426982013-03-20T10:02:39.100-04:002013-03-20T10:02:39.100-04:00True and inspiring thughts.
