What I'm doing now

What is a "now" page?

Summer is upon us. Nature is so abundant this time of year. I'm surrounded by all the colours I can imagine, and the flowers are smiling at me as I pass by them.

Life still feels new and fresh after the birth of my daughter. Every day is a new day, and it also feels like a new day. The little person waking up in the morning is not the same as the one I said goodnight to the day before. It's a small grief letting go of who she was, and at the same time it's a joy greeting who she is becoming.

My wife and I have the opportunity to be away from home for longer stretches at a time. We have made use of that and spent quite a lot of time with family on the west coast of Jutland. It's a welcome shift from city to countryside, with a slower pace and more silence. It's also precious to be with family at this time in our lives, both for my daughter and her parents.

As blogging is new to me, I've had to figure out a way to make space for writing. This is not an easy problem to solve, as I don't want to spend more time at the laptop than I already do.

I have decided to fight technology with technology, and I've bought a Supernote for writing (and reading). It's the most discreet and non-intrusive device for writing that I have found. I use it for journaling, sketching out ideas, and drafting posts. It works great so far.
