be more patient

I would like to be more patient with my mother. 13 months ago

She is going through hard times right now, and often, although I try to be helpful, I seem to be the opposite. I must try to respect her idiosyncrasies because my impatience makes her even worse. Besides, I think we could have much better times together if I could be more patient…

spend more time in nature (read all 2 entries…)

We spent a week in the Odenwald lately... 13 months ago

... and went on several walks through the forest. We even started gathering mushrooms! We spotted many we didn’t know but that looked very interesting (which does not necessarily mean edible). In the end, we decided to eat only two that we were very sure about. Delicious! I’d love to live in the countryside… although I know that it is not only romantic and peaceful but might be tiresome in the long run because of lack of infrastructure and long commuting hours every day.

Find a balance between the things I want to do and the things I need to do (read all 2 entries…)

I decided to buy a mac... 15 months ago

... mainly because I wanted it. And now I am typing this on it. It’s just awesome!
So this decision definitely scores on the side I want to emphasize more! Well done!
