This is my 200th post and the beginning of my 3rd year of blogging...
when I read back over old entries I recognise how much I have changed during this time. My life has become more colourful, creative, simple and I am a lot more self-determined and less critical of myself than 2 years ago. My motto for 2008? ENJOY!

101 Things in 1001 Days
(10, 15, 24, 13)
I made this list while I was still living in the house and since we´ve moved to the flat I´m going to have to update some of the points. I am crossing off the ones that I have finished and changing the ones not completed but no longer relevant. Here are the first 25 things.
1.Give away 50 things that I own to people who will appreciate them more than I do.
Done! I gave away atleast 50 things before and during moving house in August/September to friends, family and strangers. It felt good.
2.Learn more about permaculture-gardening and grow enough vegetables to feed my family for a larger part of the year according to permaculture guidelines.
Since we no longer have our family garden, we have our eyes open for a piece of land near our flat where I can again grow my own vegetables. I have learnt a lot about permaculture and can´t wait to have my own garden again. In the meantime, we are buying fruits and veges locally from farmers directly, from the organic shop in the next street and from a Friday morning market in the next city.
3.Take apart the wardrobe in Markus´ room and cut it up for firewood.
Done!
