some days are harder than others.
i am elated to be seeing my dad in less than one hour(!)
and i will admit, this couldn’t come at a better time.
i love that i am doing everything i can to explore places around the globe
but it can get a bit lonely at times. i might be in a rut.
i really think you need familiar faces in your life just as much as new ones.
with that said, i wanted to write a quick post and include some images / links / videos that pretty much always lift my spirits. here it goes.

ronald jenkees. the guy is exuberant, and just plain awesome. he grew in popularity by posting videos on youtube and is now selling cd’s {he autographs them if you buy two!} and other merch-type-things. subscribe to him on “youtubes”!
he’s just a genuinely happy and talented guy.
his videos make me smile every time.
people love cats.
i have no idea what sort of science is behind this, i just know that their little furry faces and wild eyes push my brain back to the mental state of an eight year old. i can’t control myself! i want to touch all of them, and give them lots of kisses and let them rub their territorial pheromones on my ankle. {this sounds gross but it’s not!}
was that too weird?
anyway, there are cats.
and there is this cat.
it’s a pleasure to follow colonel meow and his bad habits on facebook and instagram.
music.
because i just saw josh ritter in east london, i can’t get his songs out of my head.
i recommend this one.
and this one.
“temptation of adam” is one of my favorite songs.
it just takes me to a place where few other songs can even go,
if that makes any sense at all.
– – – homesteading – – –
if i’m honest, there’s only so much “homesteading” i can do while traveling.
it’s as simple as recycling. it’s as complex as catching rainwater and urban farming.
i really believe in this stuff, and it’s nice to get inspired from time to time!
{all images lovingly borrowed from homesteading / survivalism}
alright, time to keep an eye out for the family!
i swear, it feels like christmas 🙂
