Smoother than whiskey; on a good day

What if life is merely a slow transformation from eager, curious and beloved Jane Eyre into deranged wife locked in the attic?

[Anna @WiredViking]

Twilight walks in the woods, blueberry acai dark chocolate, Kacey Musgraves, inspiring podcasts, pillow forts, sharp skates, beach days with friends, sassy redheads, soccer practice #reasonstolive

You look like the mountain air touched every piece of you

[Anna @WiredViking]

When the hydrangeas look like truffula trees

[Anna @WiredViking]

Spent 3 days with my redheads, scored 2 goals at hockey and everything is right with the world

Mad street cred with 7 year-old girls when I wear my silver shoes

15-minute break to split wood. That sharp crack is so damn satisfying.

We were taught to fear the witches but not the men who burned them

[Anna @WiredViking]

Scoring summer hockey goals, tan lines, deep voices, lake swimming, shrieking redheads, beach Kadima, neighborhood foxes, simultaneously light & heavy talks, running, picnics, coffee with old friends, 93 North, budding closeness, strength, silver linings, hope #reasonstolive

Gotta love the youngish boys working at Target. Blushingly scanning my new bikini and summer workout hotpants.

Northern New England at its best: communities coming together at races, churches, beaches, concerts, protests, farmers' markets, block parties. Northern New England at its worst: rigidly Puritanical, insecure, myopic, inertia-d, bitter, unrealized potential.

Newfound appreciation for Newfound Lake

[Anna @WiredViking]

Tentative sunlight, eco-friendly glitter, beautiful [2003] dresses, story & a beer roots, playing Kadima, hearing fresh vows, dance floor magic, bouquet competitiveness, impenetrably loyal battalion, deep talks, summer everything #reasonstoloveweddings

[Anna @WiredViking]

Hockey takes the edge off Sunday scaries

[Anna @WiredViking]

Wouldn't it be awesome if every hotel guest used this same soap and body lotion so we all smell similarly at the wedding?

[Anna @WiredViking]

Gutteral laughs, pleasant dealership strangers, lucky golden cats, bouncy redheads, water strokes, dirty jokes, healthy sadness, sauna sweat, Rufus' tail, brown ales, things to look forward to, hope, adrenaline, maternal love #reasonstolive

[Anna @WiredViking]

Born-again virgin deep into my blue balls era tends to have the desired effect

[Anna @WiredViking]

To the soundtrack of frogs and crackling wood, of course

[Anna @WiredViking]

Man-free porch and sauna night with a few friends. The perfect ending to a beautiful day.

[Anna @WiredViking]

When you've been working with a client on something for 2 years and 11 months. And it passes the finish line. #exhaling

"and you can see them there on Sunday morning. Stand up and sing about what it's like up there. They call it paradise; I don't know why. You call someplace paradise, kiss it good-bye." #thelastresort
