Make every moment count.

There's so much going on, but still so little. Same from day to day, but still an overwhelming amount of different things running through my head. Countless things to take care of before the to-do list will shorten. So every now and then I gotta stop for a while and just breathe. Everything else is optional after all. 

I try to remember what really is important. You know those things that count. The small things. And then those things that wake you up, make you rethink. The thoughts that keep your mind open and your dreams alive. We should never forget to strive for more, but at the same time be happy with what we have. 

CHERISH EVERY MEMORY

LOVE EVERY MOMENT

EMBRACE EVERY POSSIBILITY

But I think I really would need a vacation. Cut my mind off things. Just be, relax and spend quality time with my love. It's a while until that can happen though, so for now stopping to breathe is what's gonna have to do the trick ;)

(Even if I wish I would be enjoying this..)

having friends at work...

...is like waking up to a sunny morning every day.

...is a little like kindergaden, but you get paid. 

And when you have friends at work, you like waking up in the morning. The time passes faster and the  days have more meaning. I am happy to have had so good luck with my great work friends, I hope you all can say the same!

"The paradox of our age"

Dalai Lama is a man of wisdom. So let's fill up the room and not think so much of what's in the window. 

and we said we would die together

Laleh - Some Die Young

...Some die young

But you better hold on

So many things I need to say to you

Please don't, don't let me go

And we said we would die together...

midsummer

I hopa you all had a good midsummer!

cleaning day!

Today it's finally time for the windows to get washed! I have taken down the curtains already months ago, and they've been waiting for the windows to get washed so that they could get put up again. Today is their lucky day!

Little things

Some small details found in our home. It's the little things that catch the eye, that stick to our mind and speak to the soul. 

The Happy Buddha.

Photogrpahs & Memories.

Colorful candlelight.

Hearts, collected here and there.

"I see friends shaking hands, sayin,

How do you do?

They're really sayin I LOVE YOU. "

A gift that works as a daily reminder that friendship is something very valuable.

Then some things that i'm dreaming of:

Dream catcher.

And a work in progress. The photo collage that has been on my mind every day lately.

Love comes once, if you're lucky enough

Love is a funny thing. It's hard to explain, yet it's always said that when you feel it you will recognize it immediately. If you are lucky enough to find real love, hold on to it. It will not always be easy, but it's worth all the effort. At the end of the day, I think it's what most of us are looking for. 

sleep can wait?!

It's a lovely day, the sun's shining and I had time for my morning coffee today. But I can feel an overwhelming tiredness taking over. I am a person who NEEDS sleep. And I mean it. When I don't sleep enough I stop functioning. I'm the kind of person who after 7pm can't get a whole lot of things accomplished anymore.

Right now I should be doing an assignment; draw an apartment plan and plan how to locate the storage. I like the assignment, and I like my school. But I'm just tired. So I feel about like on the picture above.

My assignment should be ready by saturday, and I am pretty sure I'm running out of time. And I already now what it wil result in:

So, back to my assignment, sleep can wait! or can it?

P.S. Just a couple of hours of work anymore, then I get treated to a dinner on town in good company, could be worse ;)

thoughts of today

In the end it really is the little things in life that turn out to be the really important ones. So let's not forget to enjoy them. The moments of our lives can define who we are, or then we can define the moments of our life. Choose which, and make sure that either way those moments are moments you'll wanna look back at later in life.
