Because the nerds need to know, here’s what I use for a Travel Journal — The no-longer produced Pelle Journal. Perfect for the task. Other fun fact: I always write my travel entries in brown ink. With the cream colored paper it seems more “travelly” to me.

Choosing Happy

So this is the deal. There’s a lot on my life that’s not perfect (and yes, I know social media makes everything look great). There’s a lot of stress, and worry, and things not working right, and anxiety, and all of that. Right now, I’m struggling with having been sick a lot this year despite the mild winter, and some overarching dread that there’s some huge health issue and I’m going to die young like my mom..

But every single day I wake up and make the choice to be happy.

Gosh, I love her.

Coining a new term:

Jacket Book — Everything you need to know from the book can be gleaned from simply reading the jacket, thus eliminating the need to read the whole book.

Many non-fictions fit this category perfectly. Maybe deserves it’s own genre.

Darn Tough

I’m tough on socks. I always have been. I had a friend tell me about Darn Tough socks and their commitment to be the best, toughest, socks you’ll own and that come with a lifetime guarantee. I’ve purchased nothing but for years now and they’ve absolutely been the longest lasting ones on my feet by miles.

As of this writing, I have now returned four pairs of socks to them under said lifetime warranty (which I’ve worn for years before having any warrant to do so) and received four pairs in return, fee and hassle free (besides the cost of postage to send them from my end).

Buy Darn Tough socks (this referral link will get you $5 off). If you see them on sale buy more. Trust me. Worth every cent.

This is not a paid sponsorship post I swear! I’m just a very happy long time customer.
