I love the fact that I don’t have to get to work any any real schedule. I love the fact that I can take time in the morning to clean up my place or run errands. I love the fact that I can walk or bike to work when I want. and I have options. I love that I live in a small town. I love that there are vast sunny skies and mountains around. I love that there’s no hurry. I love the fact that I can go skiing in the morning for a few hours and work in the afternoon. I love the little place I live in. I love the fact that my dog is little, mellow and well behaved so he fits well in that little place of mine. if fact, all three of us fit well in there. I love the fact that I can bring moose to work. I also love the fact that I work right above the brewery. I love the fact that I can drive to amazing hot springs any day I want. I love the fact that I have backyard and a fire pit. I love the fact that I am making money doing the simple things I do. and I must say, I love the fact that I have a career. I love the simplicity and the abundance of it all. I love the fact that James and I can just live here. just live. nothing is ever complicated. in some different way. you don’t really begin to understand how montana culture is different until you’ve lived here for a bit. the difference may seem obvious, but it still never is what you think it is. life is just different. slower.

who would have thought, a little girl from Finland to find herself here, in paradise.
