Hearts and Thoughts
from Lisbon, Portugal to the world - since 1983.
Random Hearts: Avocados. Raspberries. Strawberries. Sushi. Brushing my teeth with gusto. The sea. Lakes. Hiking. Running. Bicycling. To suit up. HIMYM. Smelling nice perfumes. Paul Thomas Anderson. SNL. Mad Men. Kings of Convenience. Kanye West. Kissing slowly. Confident quirky women. Summer dresses. Snow. Sauna. Travelling. Portugal. Europe.
Random thought: I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out. - Roger Ebert
