“Why in the world would anybody put chains on me, yeah?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it, no, ooh

That's why I'm easy, yeah
I'm easy like Sunday morning…”

I could get used to this.

If I live another 20-years I’ll
Be very happy. Live each day as if it’s your last, cause ya never know.

Sign of the times for so many.

Despite everything this reminder is worth repeating to ourselves,
over and over.

“I've seen better days, but I've also seen worse.

I don't have everything I want, but I do have all I need.

I woke up with some aches and pains, but I woke up.

My life may not be perfect, but I am blessed.”

There is no path to happiness, happiness is the path.

“Barcelona is a Woman, and it’s a Woman who is extremely vain.” -Carlos Ruiz Zafon

It’s hard to find something more beautiful than Barcelona early in the morning.

A record 94 million international travelers visited Spain in 2024. Spain ranks as the second most popular destination globally, after France.

Travel is the only way some people ever look around. If we spent half the energy looking at our own neighborhoods, we'd probably learn twice as much.

Everything is temporary.

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”

Thanks Mr. Crumb.

So appropriate for today.

Enroll in Rambling University; there’s no tuition or entrance exam and best of all it’s a free education. You’ll find every new path you take can teach you a lesson.

I’ve spent a good deal of my life being nomadic.

“Architecture should speak of its time and place but yearn for timelessness.”
-Frank Gehry

It’s impossible says your pride. It’s risky warns experience. It’s pointless screams reason. Give it a try whispers your heart. Listen to your heart.

We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.

Life is about the gray areas.

Nothing but blue skies ahead. Wishful thinking from Barcelona.
