Living the Creative Life

I've tried to distract myself with pretty pictures: here  and  h ere  and  h ere , but always just end up feeling more frustrated that my current life is so boring and mundane. I really want to move.

My snack one evening: trail mix, bell peppers, and orange juice. We went to my mom's house for my sister's birthday. Here's a mug I was drinking out of. Here is my mom's cat, Purl. (My mom loves to knit!) My sister wanted chocolate mousse pie for her birthday "cake". Mmm mmm good!

This is such a beautiful video. Enjoy!
