We are in France! Catharine and her daughter Olympe picked us up right as we exited the airport. We didn't even have one second to worry they weren't coming:) The flight was good but long. Ruby and I had an extra seat in the row of three on the way to Paris which was so nice. Iceland was beautiful from what we saw but the airport was pretty vacant and small but cute too. There were no food places open either so we were glad that we brought some granola bars and fruit leathers just in case. We went straight to Olympe's beautiful house which was about two hours away. They have a fantastic garden and a gorgeous cottage ish house and two dogs. They are super nice and Olympe speaks great French. We have taken a nap, watched a movie, walked her dogs, listened to Olympe play the piano, had homemade ice cream and toast with Nutella, been on her trampoline and had a yummy lunch of potatoes and raw salmon with bread and cantaloupe. (It really was good!) I'm so excited to learn some French and I now know that I really don't know anything basically. The weather is chilly and cloudy but it's so beautiful and green here. Tomorrow we might go shopping!

HOLIDAYS

I was so happy the Mijatovic family came to visit! Even though we're not related my blood, we're family!

Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)
The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much  good  in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
