Nostalgia

WELCOME new year...new memories...new adventures...new friends....

...thinking with her body, so there's a lot of spontaneous dancing involved....

...song of the day...Wichita Lineman...not sure why that one causes feelings of nostalgia!!...1968...hmmmm...perhaps it is just the melancholy sound of the song....

...what is this melancholia??...this feeling of a missed life??... when I listen--and especially...when I watch music videos of classic rock bands??...and now...I'm even feeling those feelings when listening to the new folk rock music??  Perhaps those feelings of longing...of nostalgia...are the impetus for this wonderful gypsy adventure I am on....who knows!!??  I shake off the melancholia and embrace the excitement of possibilities...helping to build a treehouse hostel in the jungle...permaculture gardening in the south of France...housesitting for a Canadian family with a view of the mountains...the opportunities are limitless!!  YAAHOO!!

The important thing isn't the house.  It's the ability to make it. You carry that in your brain and in your hands, wherever you go.... It's one thing to carry your life wherever you go. Another thing to always go looking for it somewhere else.   Animal Dreams

Joyeux Noël

Joyeux Noël à tous...et...

Joyeux anniversaire ma grande!!


...and a milk shake will make my throat feel better!!.... fond memories of life with you my grande!!

For all the thousand things we do in the world, I love it best when we sit in the sunlight together, smiling quietly with the knowing that here is the perfect place to be.

...and GO TRAVELing my girl!! 
  • I need vitamin sea.
  • It feels good to be lost in the right direction.
  • I have an insane calling to be where I'm not.
  • The trouble is, you think you have time. --Buddha
  • You get a strange feeling when you leave a place, like you'll not only miss the people you love, but you miss the person you are at this time and place because you'll never be this way ever again.
  • Don't call it a dream, call it a plan.
  • There's no way I was born to just pay bills & die.
  • Quit your job, buy a ticket, get a tan, fall in love, never return.
  • Just you--and the world.
  • Take every chance you get in life, because some things only happen once.
  • It's time to remember what it's like to feel alive.
  • Can we just skip to the part of my life where I travel the world?
  • You can recreate yourself as many times as there are cities in the world. I think it is for that reason that we all love to travel.
  • This is the part where you find out who you are.
  • When in doubt, travel.
  • Let's go somewhere where nobody knows our name.
  • Life was meant for good friends and great adventures.
  • You can't buy happiness but you can buy a plane ticket and that's kind of the same thing.
  • We must take adventures in order to know where we truly belong.
  • The tans will fade, but the memories will last forever.
