Day 31. I’ve been at this for a month. Can’t believe it, actually. Yes, there have been days when I’ve woken up, groaned and thought: “Oh, I don’t have time to think 
of an idea and write a blog today.” And then, miraculously, an idea pops into my head and next thing you know, it’s done. For another day. Sometimes, several ideas pop into my head and I write notes on them (so I won’t forget) and store them away, like a squirrel saving nuts for the winter.

Affectionate. Honest. Spiritual. Aesthetical. Independent. Liberal. Patient. Impatient. Superstitious. Open. Passionate. Loyal. Indulgent. Sincere. Judgemental. Self aware. And that’s just for starters. Just kidding!!!
All that from thirty blog posts? Well, yeah.
