Since then I've been following your blog daily and it's one, if not the only, I consider worth visiting daily, several times a day if necessary. What I admire most is your capacity of resuming life styles in one sentence... and thank you for the occasional deep and romantic cartoon which reminds that this is not such a void;) I'm also into blogging (who would guess? nobody does that these days, right?) but I write in Portuguese so you wouldn't be able to read it. I linked you a while ago. Today I just wanted to say hi and good luck for you, and keep up with that sense of humour;) Greetz* Ana Hi Hugh:)

You know, always thinking that "one day" I'll do this or that. For me, that thought pattern got in the way when I was actually doing the things I always said I was "going to do." Because I was still in the habit of thinking that I was "going to do" them. Does that make sense? The habit was not being aware of what I was doing at that moment, not focusing on what I could touch and affect. I’ve noticed this idea before, the idea that I’m always living my life in the future.
