dreams and a song

So as I always hope everyone would just decide to live in the moment and do things they've always dreamed of - here's me doing that...

So here's a piece of me to you, a song that I thought I was singing only to my computer (so bare with me, the recording-side is not my area of expertise) - and a song that I would love to sing someday to an audience...so I thought, why not post it here... though it made me nervous, I just thought "oh well, here we go again" (as I always do before experimenting with some new/crazy idea) and decided to post it (and it really is a raw-version, just me singing to a karaoke-backround... my very fancy sound-systems!)

But hope you like it... it's made with <3

Decisions. Big decisions. Small decisions. Everyday decisions.

It seems like life is just full of decisions when you think of it. I'm all for happy happy joy joy-kinda living, but hey - let's face the facts - I have to deal with things that aren't easy, things that make me sad, things that are hard and complicated... and things I just don't like - at all!

But sometimes the hardest decision could be the best you've made in a long time. And you know, if you can make a hard decision and still smile.... damn, you're rocking it!

Reading this book.... really liking it! And hey, even Drew Barrymore says it great (and I think Drew is overly cool!), so it is a must-read! More on the book later when I have finished it.

a happy day, pt.1 (happy living-tips)

I feel happy with my life. Sometimes I even feel a bit bad about being so happy when I see other people being miserable and unhappy in their lives... But maybe it's an attitude thing combined with the fact that I have just the greatest people around me, but I do feel happy most of the time. Of course there are mornings when I just think "UGH" as I see a totally black sky (it's getting darker and darker in Finland) and I know I have not-so-happy-things maybe to do that day, but that happens not too often... cause life is so much what you make of it, that's a fact! So here are some of the things that make me happy today:

these pictures:

(the first and the second picture; great reminders of life supposed to be fun. No matter what the boring people say!... And the last two pictures: the first is a house I wouldn't mind owning (hehee) and the last is the feeling I think I had every morning if I actually lived in that house... joy indeed!)

...and hooping

(I find her shoes a bit disturbing, hehee... but the beachy vibe is very nice! This is how I'd like to do my hooping every morning...)

fall in pictures

I love fall. The colors, the dewy mornings that are a bit chilly yet not freezing, the feeling of new things starting, drinking tea or coffee in front of my window and watching the city changing it colors every day, putting on boots with a dress and a leather coat and topping it with a warm scarf, watching the seagulls flying by over my house (well okay, they do that almost always), breathing in the air that just feels the most fresh when it's fall, going for a long walk in the forest or the park, going for a long car ride through the city and enjoying being cozy inside the car (cause it so often rains right now)... I love the rain too, though lately it's been here a bit too often - or just a bit too much here at the wrong moment (when I am outside... without an umbrella). But basically I still love the rain... Everything just feels fresher after it has rained. Just like everything would have been in the washing machine and now clean and ready for a new day.

Yep!

A piece of me is in there somewhere...

Wishing you a great day with dreams of NY!
