I had a deadline this year, which I have forgotten about. I was meant to look back on 101 things in 1001 days. Interestingly I haven’t really followed the list yet some of the things somehow happened naturally.
Specially surprising is that we own a cat, we’re closer to mountains and I am actively thinking to start horseback riding sessions again. I am training for a marathon at the moment and I have accomplished the half one. I am restructuring the whole website so it reflects my art practice and finally come all together with hikes and walks and reflections.
