Joe Giudice Is "Enjoying Life" in Italy and This Message Proves It

Joe Giudice is missing his home back in New Jersey, as well as all of his loved ones there, but he's enjoying his time in his native Italy as best he can.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey husband recently shared a photo of himself "enjoying life" in Italy, along with his brother Pete Giudice. In another post published after that, Joe shared a message about the importance of living life to the fullest and doing what makes you happy.

"Life is too short to be angry. Life is too short to be resentful. Life is too short to hold on to the past. Life is too short not to love. Life is too short not to be happy. Life is too short not to forgive. Life is too short not to live our lives the way we want it," the message read. "Love life. Appreciate the people in it. Enjoy the present. Seize the moment. Life is worth living for, so let's LIVE!"

Joe's wife, Teresa Giudice seconded his message in the comments to the post. "Very true," she wrote.

With a new apartment and a new job, Joe has been settling in to life in Italy as he awaits a final decision in his ongoing deportation case. He has been spending his days catching up with family, meeting new friends, tasting delicacies, and working out, including getting in some MMA (mixed martial arts) training.

Joe was slated to see his daughters (Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10) over Christmas, but Teresa recently told Us Weekly that the family's holiday plans are now up in the air. “I don't know yet," Teresa said. “'We're still deciding. We have a lot going on.”

Teresa opens up more about how her family is dealing with Joe's legal issues in The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 10 After Show, above.
