The power of the positive...

Can positive thinking influence how life "treats" you? I am going to conduct an experiment that stipulates at least 15 minutes of true, hard core positive thinking. I think I can, I think I can.... ;)

Fresh start

It is finally spring! Not just the calendar version of spring but the spring that you can feel in the air... About friggin' time!

This year, I just can't seem to shake a bad feeling. I know that it is probably all in my head but I always feel like there is a fist in the middle of my chest. Maybe I am just totally exhausted and stressed out (Thanks to the baby and my lack of solid job offer)... Sometimes I just feel that I am in major need of a fresh start. I don't have enough hair to cut short. I already colour my hair on a regular basis. The only thing that keeps me really happy are my boys and A. Hmmm...

Homesick for a past "home"...

A and I used to live in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is a city that holds lots of great memories for me: good friends, great lifestyle, good lab, our first child, getting married, finding out we were going to have baby #2... anyway, the list continues...
Although we now live in the city that I grew up in (actually, our house is about 20 minutes away from where I lived for most of my life), it is funny how I feel homesick for Copenhagen. While I was finishing my PhD, I had to return often (which I really liked). One time I had a very strange experience: it was about the same time of the year that we had left and I kept seeing our "ghosts" there. It was almost like there was another reality where we had stayed. I actually checked my watch a few times, catching myself thinking that I should be picking Alexander from vuggestuen soon. I found myself drawn to places that we used to frequent. It was a bit strange- maybe it was jetlag ;)
Anyway, I am feeling a bit "homesick" again lately. Maybe I need a fresh start...
