Drinking: I suppose you could say I'm a purist, just coffee and water.

Looking: at The Minimalists blog. It is my new favorite place to read, learn, and grow.

Deciding: how to hang our bicycles. It is down to this or that.
Wishing: my friend Brian a very happy birthday. Today he is 27!

Loving: how much money we have made selling items that we never use.

Feeling: really proud of myself for starting a few online shops, and continuing on with my education.
Admiring: Franz Kline, because his work fascinates me.
Sorting: I have sorted through everything, which has given us more room to grow.
Buying: we sold our old record player, and bought a new all-black Crosley. She's a beauty.
Getting: more out of life with every passing moment.
Bookmarking: a recipe for clementine cake. It is just like the one from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Disliking: missing my niece, Leona, taking her first steps. She is growing up so fast.

Giggling: last night we watched the new episode of Welcome to Sweden, and Greg Poehler is silly.
Feeling: more focused, and happy. Change can be so good.

  2. I love those hands! I've always wanted one! I can't wait to see you! What language are you thinking of trying to learn? I've considered trying to learn Korean, but it's a difficult one!

    1. Oh my goodness! Korean would be an incredible language to learn, but I think it would be tough. I would love to learn more French, as well as Swedish.
