    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

    What Next
    Feel free to look around the blog and add your own thoughts or stories, I'd love to hear 'em.

Happy Spring!

Happy Spring everyone! I’ve always loved the freshness of Spring and seeing all the green and flowers come back, even if it happens a bit later here in Alaska than most other places.

Right now there’s still snow on the ground but I know it’s days are numbered and we’ll all be able to play outside again soon :).

When I think about Spring this poem by Matsuo Basho usually comes to mind, it’s short but rings true to the season in my opinion:

spring:
a hill without a name
veiled in morning mist

    Splendid Anita! :)
    I can´t do more but to imagine how it´s like to be over there during spring time, it must be so beautiful!

      Thanks Nairim! It’s wonderful here in spring. As well as being beautiful it’s just so nice to have a break from all the snow and darkness of winter.

      I’ll try to remember to take some pictures this spring and send them to you.
