I am here sitting on the living room floor, writing letters, making paper cranes and listening to Bon Iver. I feel like when I listen to him, I'm rediscovering something new everytime. Lately, I've had sporadic thoughts about things and so it is shown here. I'm not sure where this is going, but I know it makes me smile to be able to share some of what lurks in my mind. Sometimes I need to spit it out, otherwise I will explode.

This past weekend was good, because I hadn't been getting much of a chance to be by myself. My sister was here! It's always great to catch up with her.
