Holy crap look at this house!

More pictures here.

I don't feel like I'm in a bad mood today and yet I've decided that this is today's theme song. I found myself humming it this morning as I strolled out of the house, and it seems oddly apt. Also, I've never seen the video before and it's pretty great. (I want to be all over Europe like that video is - even if my face is distorted a la photobooth!)

Confession:

I miss Zara.

Did I tell you I opened a Tumblr account? I'm not sure why I did, but I did. Anyway, my Tumblr blog looks like this.

Remember back when I used to have between 20-30 posts a month? Probably not because that was well over a year ago. Not much has been going on lately which is probably why I haven't felt like blogging. Well actually what's really happened is I fell into a somewhat miserable state of being, and no one needs to read about that. There's enough complaining and negativity out there without my help. BUT slow changes have been happening - I must say that changing one's outlook requires an awful lot of work for not a whole lot of reward. In an instant-gratification culture such as the one we live in it's no wonder that self-improvement often ranks low on people's 'to-do' lists. It's a long haul to change from the person you are to the person you want to be - changes are usually subtle, if perceptible at all. Every once in a while I feel it - that awesome sense of hope and possibility, that I am on a path (maybe even the path) I'm supposed to be on. Of course, every once in a while I am swallowed by self-deprecation and doubt which leads to lethargy and sour moods, but that's just how things roll (right?!??). Anyhow, maybe I'll get back to feeling inspired to post on a more regular basis, or maybe I'll just get over the need to match or surpass a self-perceived quota of monthly blog entries. It - this blog, my life, me - is a work in progress.

I'll keep you updated though, I promise.

Today is a bit of a sad day, and last night while I was awake in bed thinking about today I played this song and it was perfect. Don't you just love it when a song feels perfect?
