Home is...

Home is wherever i'm with you.

Cheesy? Cliché? Maybe, but true. That train where we slept when crossing France overnight felt more like home than this bed I sleep in three nights a week away from you. As hard as it is, always feels good to return home.

A sweet escape

When I think about a place to escape, the blue of the ocean always comes to my mind. I miss this place, and miss the feeling of having nothing in my head when I am there.

Priorities

Valentine's day is gone and, for me, seems like it didn't even happened. 

Don't you think this day should be like a big red sign to orient our priorities?

It's beginning to feel like Christmas

Have I told you that I love Christmas season? Well, if you follow me on Pinterest you probably already noticed that. Just a little... This weekend we started our christmas decorations at home and, oh my, how I love all the twinkling!

I will be sharing what we've been doing. I warn you, I am known for enslaving my husband into creating all sorts of handmade decorations I imagine in my head!

Gratitude

Being aware of it, allow us to appreciate every moment,
embrace what we've accomplished every step of the way,
and live a fully life.
And, for that I am immensely grateful.

For all of you getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, I wish you a beautiful happy day.

Just a car?

Our dear and faithful Astra, companion of so many trips, is getting old, maybe too old. He gets so tired when the ride is long that he keeps asking for gas. All the time.

We try not to push him more than he can and, whenever we feel like going to faraway places, we borrow one of dad's cars.



And, I must be honest, we dream with a new car. So, now he just started to show a new problem every week, whether is the exhaust pipe that needs replacement or the wipers that stop working out of nowhere...

I wonder, is he trying to get our attention? Did we hurt his feelings?

Living on the wilderness

One day I will abandon the wild seas and dock in dry land. And I won't feel blue, for there's a time to be wild and a time to find a harbor and grow old. Peacefully.

Let the rain fall

Driving without plans. 

Just the two of us and a nice cd playing. 

And watching the rain fall outside.

It's always a perfect treat.

Heading home

Today is time to head home. Seems like the skies are opening, I can see the light at the horizon. Not always easy to, though...Yesterday I woke up with my cellphone beeping.

"There's nothing better than waking up next to you, 

even if we're as far as the opposite sides of the bed. 

Wake up and be able to hold you, 

squeeze you against me, 

and kiss you... 

Why can't we have this every day?"

I looked at the other side of the bed, but there's no other side. I barely fit in there myself. This work I have keeps us apart 3 nights a week, 230 km away. There's no way to express how it feels, it just feels wrong. This shitty economical situation we're living gives us no option but to hold on to it. Let's hope for better days. Whenever I look up for guidance I always see the clouds changing. Sometimes, all we need is a bit of wind to shake things up and change the clouds. Need to learn how to build a fan.
