Life can break your heart.

My adventure in Sicily is my best attempt so far at learning to live with my broken heart.

Your heart, like all hearts, including mine, can learn to live being just a little bit broken. Because we can’t live or love until we are prepared to have our hearts broken yet again. But we know that our hearts can mend because we have had our hard breaks and we find a way move on. We are grown-ups!

I have learned that I can live with my scars. I am committed to paying closer attention and see if I can’t loosen up the edges of those scars just a little bit.

I think that being a little broken makes us more more sensitive and caring. It makes us wiser, too. It can also make us wary of stepping back into what could end up breaking our hearts.

Here goes! I am going to head to Sicily barnacles and all and see what happens.
