LEGENDS OF THE FALL

Same-same but different. Even when you think you know something, then it can still totally surprise with mood, colors, light and feeling!

Today Wikipedia learned me "autumn" used to be called harvest (like herfst in Dutch). But, when people moved from country side- to city life, autumn and fall made their introduction. Fall is supposed to come from the Old English fiæll or feallan and the Old Norse fall. Both mean "to fall from a height", and are a contraction of Middle English expressions like "fall of the leaf" and "fall of the year"…

Well anyway; harvest, autumn or fall, each season brings its own story board.. and with the return of dark evenings, a cozy evening at home with "Legends of the fall" -a childhood favorite movie- could actually be fun! Just as a landscape can look totally different, am I also going to watch the movie with a new color now, 16years after I saw it for the first time?

What´s your favorite autumn movie?

DRIVING LICENSE; APPROVED! :-)))

The big issue on my "to do" list had since ever been; getting that d*mn driving license. Somehow it never happened or worked out, but this year I felt like; now I have to go for it and fix this! So; I saved the holiday days, booked myself an intensive driving course on the Swedish countryside, spend a small fortune,... BUT 2 months later I can now finally say; "I GOT MY DRIVING LICENSE!!" Felt slightly surreal that I could finally tick it off from my "to do" list! So now I´m looking forward to my road trip next summer! Iceland, Lapland, Norway, Finn mark,... so much possibilities, so much new found freedom. It´ll still take some time before I´ll for real believe that I actually really DID this now... but either way I really do have to say that -so far- 2011 really is the year when lots of major things have happened!! Such moments make it feel great to be alive, and mostly; it´s great to feel that everything is possible once you decide to go for it and when you believe in your own strength!
