She loved this book.

This photo is from our first year in Konya, maybe the first week we were here. At Nezih and Gülbün Onur's house, enjoying fruits from the garden.

Aundreta and a point from "The Point"

She would change "man" to "woman" before she said it aloud, but the idea fits her exactly. #bubblegumadventures #thankyouforthat


If you observe a really happy man, you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under a radiator.
--W. BERAN WOLFE

Although he survives for most people only through this quote, Walter Beran Wolfe was a real person, an Austrian-born American psychiatrist and student/translator of Alfred Adler. It comes from his masterpiece, How to Be Happy Though Human (1931), which was one of the first self-help bestsellers. Wolfe died in an accident at the age of thirty-five.
