My husband and I have hit the road again for five weeks of backpacking through New Zealand. Being in nature -- seeing that despite everything we're doing to our planet it still manages to retain beauty and splendor -- is what gets me through. A good laugh with close friends is not a bad way either...
Oh, how thrilling for you and your husband — this sounds like such an incredible adventure! I hope you will be writing about it so I can learn more about it. Have a wonderful time, Kaarin!
White Lotus is SO GOOD at character development!! Loving this 3rd season. Re-reading Molokai, connecting with friends, and getting back to the gym- the things that are making me smile:)
SO GOOD! Did you watch last night's episode yet? When it ended, we looked at each other and were like, "It's over already?" And now we wait another week. I sometimes wish all the episodes dropped at once, but then again, it's kind of fun having something to look forward to each Sunday evening.
Molokai sounded familiar and when I just looked it up I remember I was given a copy a long time ago but haven't yet read it! It looks really good, and maybe you mentioning it is my cue to look for it and give it a read.
YES! My stress level is going up ... this most recent episode was so good and also so uncomfortable. This is what I love about this series. It's such a slow burn. Just when you wonder if you want to keep watching, you're like, I must know what is going to happen! Why do I have to wait another week?!?
New interest in classical music…Spotify…my first wife ❤️…sunshine and sunglasses 🕶️…learning new skills…being a dad…fixing things…my family…hot tubbing…exercising my body…embracing life, all of it the good and the bad…March madness…early morning coffee…reading new books…knowing that no one is getting out of here alive and trying to fully enjoy my amazing life and wife🥰
In no particular order ... The opportunity to give of my time each week at a local second hand store ... riding my bike when I can ... reading my daily devotions ... maintaining a positive outlook ... spending time with my wife ... weekly organizing a school pantry at our local middle school ... continue to make connections and further relationships with friends ... don't take myself too seriously ... read each day ... caring for the earth with my recycling responsibilities ... COUNTING MY BLESSINGS!
Love all of this, Christopher! All so good. I like the idea of not taking ourselves too seriously. I can really fall into that trap sometimes. Thank you for being here and sharing.

Molokai is one of my absolute favorites and the first book I have ever re-read. And now there is Daughter of Molokai waiting for me at the library!
Watched White Lotus last night - there’s just so much to unpack with this show🤣I am loving Parker Posey. These characters are all so…special😉
Parker Posey is crushing this role! Her accent in this gets me every time.
Can we talk about how uncomfortable this show is getting???🤣🤣🤣Omg this most recent episode…it’s like a train wreck, I can’t look away.

I'm listening to the classical music you recommended again today while I work! 🙂 xoxo
