I’m not sure what tour I was doing, I’m pretty sure I was in Vienna. We were touring one of the palaces, there, I believe Schonbrunn Palace. The tour guide had made a comment on how much they knew about Mozart. It turns out that his father had written a letter during their travels EVERY DAY! So, they knew many things about Mozart, including such specifics as, what Mozart drank or ate that day.
And then our tour guide posed a question. “What would future generations really know about us?”
In my case, not so much. My future grandchildren would see this journal and be quite sad. I don’t seem to chronicle the happy moments of my life. Even if Facebook is still available for them to access, the narrative of my life will still be very choppy. The things that fill up this journal are quotes that remind me of the silly times and a lot of sad moments.
So, I think it’s time to share my blessings.
I just got back from a 10 day trip in Europe. My parents went to a nursing conference and the conference included a tour to Prague, Vienna, Budapest, and Munich. We also stopped by Salzburg and Oberammergau. I also got to go to Dacau.
The cities were absolutely beautiful. Just breathtaking. And as in any trip, I learned a lot about myself. I think it’s interesting that my identity still constantly changes in my 20s, but I suppose it never really stops evolving.
Prague is so lovely. Vienna’s architecture is just breathtaking all around. Munich was interesting, but found myself underwhelmed by it. Budapest was beautiful! I hope to go there someday. I had some really great conversations with my mother when we had lunch by ourselves and I think it posed as a great opportunity to understand one another.
I will try my hardest to chronicle my life better. I don’t seem to be doing a very good job. I can chronicle better with pictures. Maybe that’s how I should chronicle life.
