Tuesday Talks

So, I had a new idea slash goal for myself for this second year in Klagenfurt. I am FULLY aware of how much I am not looking forward to the thick fog, bitter cold, and dirty snow, or 'snirt', as I learned today. However, there are so many times throughout even the worst days that I find something amusing or someone did something to make me laugh or I witnessed an event that brought a smile to my face. Therefore, I'm resolving to try and write down every day something good that happened that made me smile or laugh, even when it might seem insignificant. Life is to unsure to go around grumpy all the time!

Today is a good day to start!

Back to 'snirt'. After the first pronunciation class, I couldn't make it to the bus in time, so I thought I would go say hi at the claddagh. Jules was there working, all by himself with no other drinkers there. So I interrupted his alone time and we had a nice long chat for about an hour and change, until the wife called me home for dinner. But basically, talking about how I don't like dirty snow in the city after the plows come through and mess up the pretty white layer, Jules blurts out 'snirt.' I love learning new words!!
