The Introspection of a Cyclic Life: Clarity After Repeating Patterns

It's October 2008 all over again. But I seem to have things a bit more clear now. It's amazing, how things seem to get clearer every time. Decisions are easier to make, I seem to be a bit less scared of what others might think. I know what I want and I go for it. I hesitate a lot, but more because I want many things at once and less because I don't know what I want. What came after October 2008 was a nerve wrecking November and a perfect December.

Like Kids in a Maze: The Endless Path of Choices

Endless possibilities, yet I can only chose one when paths divert. There are no right or wrong turns, there is just the wonder of what was in the other direction. Sometimes I go down one path, then go back to take the other one, but it is no longer there or it has distorted in a way it is no longer recognizable. And I am lost, but it doesn't really matter. It's an infinite labyrinth with no map.

The boat that wasn't

The Boat We Almost Bought: A Journey Through the Najad 34 Inspection For the past couple of years, we’ve been looking for the perfect boat to call our floating home. This particular boat, a Najad 34 located in the far north of Scandinavia, seemed like it could be the one. It took us a month and a half to go and see it because the river was still frozen, and we had to wait until it thawed. Finally, we were set to see if our dream would become a reality.
