YAY, FRIDAY!

Loving these inspirational articles lately, makes my day a little brighter than it already is- despite Prague's notoriously gray, depressing fall and winters.

This article is one of my favorites so far, it's ''22 Things Happy People Do Differently":

1. Don't hold grudges.
2. Treat everyone with kindness.
3. See problems as challenges.
4. Express gratitude for what they already have.
5. Dream big.
6. Don't sweat the small stuff.
7. Speak well of others.
8. Never make excuses.
9. Get absorbed into the present.
10. Wake up at the same time every morning.
11. Avoid social comparison.
12. Choose friends wisely.
13. Never seek approval from others.
14. Take the time to listen.
15. Meditate.
16. Eat well.
17. Exercise.
18. Live minimally.
19. Tell the truth.
20. Establish personal control.
21. Accept what cannot be changed.
22. Nuture social relationships.

Most importantly, happy Friday and have a lovely weekend! I'm off to Hradec Králové for the better half of the weekend to celebrate life with some friends!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Hello wanderlusters!

So, this summer is panning out A LOT different than I thought it would. Initially, I thought that I would have TONS of time to write posts almost daily but now I'm lucky if I get a post up once a week...I'm slacking really hard, I know. I also thought that I would have a job...but I don't. I did apply to Urban Outfitters for the last month and a half I am here though with hopes of getting it and then being able to work there again over winter break.

Recently, I've been big into DIY and painting so sometimes when I come home from babysitting or being out with friends instead of writing a blog post I will sit down at my desk and just paint well into the night. I'm currently working on some fashion DIY so once I get those going I will post pictures and tutorials! Some of the projects I am about to get into include: studding Converse shoes, dip-dying/bleaching shorts, making a jean and leather jacket, jewelry and spiking a simple crew neck.

One of the most important things that I told myself I would do this summer is work on my book. I have done some work to it and will continue doing work to it but time just slips right through my fingertips now a days. I did send a summary of my book to a contest where Meg Cabot, a well known author, would read it and if she likes it, she will help me (or whoever wins) get it published. So, my fingers are double crossed because I really enjoy writing and would love to share with the world what I am writing that isn't just blog posts.

The Barcelona posts are going to take some time since we were there for 10 days and did quite a bit but I promise you they are coming and also the long-awaited Guam post will go live tomorrow morning. I'll most likely have more time to write and dedicate to the blog once again once my family leaves for the Czech Republic next week. Until then, most of my time will be spent with them and helping them get ready for their trip.

Just thought I would update everyone and wish you all a lovely Friday and upcoming weekend!

BUT I'M TIRED OF DRIVING TO WORK

I came across this article regarding the bizarre ways that people commute to and from either work or school. I found this funny because I remember back in high-school, the dad of one of my former best friends' took a kayak to work EVERY morning, regardless of the weather!

So, if you are bored of either taking public transportation to work (like I did when I moved to Prague) or driving to work and getting stuck in traffic (been there, done that too) then here are some other alternatives:

1. Kayak, canoe or paddle-boat to work.
2. Ski or snowboard (if you live in say, Alaska or a region where snow is common).
3. Zipline (the example in the article was in Colombia, South America).
4. Skateboard or longboard.
5. Bike- regardless of the miles. One man bikes 40 MILES every day!
6. Run- again, regardless of the miles. One man runs 10 miles EACH WAY!
7. Unicycle there...if you are that talented.

Hope this makes Friday a little more enjoyable and you have a new way to work starting next Monday! I finished working last Sunday so this is the first Friday I have had off since February, cue the Harlem Shake style dancing.
