My friends, and some of my couples, know that I was born in Italy and am a citizen of the world.
My parents have permanently relocated to Panama, in Central America and love it! They own property down there and visit Italy and me every so often. When they don't plan to move from their warm and sunny and "beachy" and tropical home, they send me packages full of "little stuff" that just makes my day!
Their latest package, I received this week. I had forgotten about it, since it does take a while for the mail to travel through countries. When Josh brought it up to our house from the mail box, I was SO excited!
The first thing I noticed was the packaging. The simple brown paper wrapping. Then, the postage and the stamps and the scuff marks depicting weeks of what I can only imagine to be a rough journey, from hand to hand, from Panama to Portland, OR.
Call me a dork, I won't blame you :-) But its the little things that make me smile. Knowing my family loves me, receiving items from a country I long to visit, sharing those items with my friends, and showing off how lucky I feel to have been born into a life of worldly travel, open doors and international opportunities.
I wanted to share closeup images of the stamps and postage from this package.
Simple, I know; but fun. I think :-)
Grazie Mamma e Papa' e Vale per il regalo! Love you.
