Let me introduce myself...

I recently came across the Proust questionnaire and thought it would be a fun thing to answer some of the questions here. Feel free to comment and answer the same questions on your blog. I would love to get to know who is out there.... :)

What is your idea of earthly happiness?
Happiness is being absolutely content with myself and the world around me. Happiness does not mean to have no worries, but to be able to overcome all worries through one's faith. I am happy... maybe not all days, but most days.

Where would you most like to live?
There are many places where I would really like to live. I love California, or Madison, Wisconsin, or Sweden... but even the most beautiful places in this world don't mean anything if you are alone in them. I would most like to live surrounded by friends and family... or just people who I love and who love me.

What is your favorite virtue?
Love.
(No need to say more... Love says it all.)

I'll be answering more some other time, but that's it for today.

Catching up

It has been a while since I last posted something on this blog. But I believe I have a good excuse: I finished my Ph.D. thesis, defended it, and deposited it. If you have never written a Ph.D. thesis, you cannot imagine how much work this can be. I am so glad this is over. I cannot wait to catch up with all the old adventures that I had to neglect over the past months and years and I am looking forward to dive into new adventures that still lie ahead of me.
